Is the video games console industry in free fall? When we look back at this generation, we could be left wondering where 100 Million gamers have gone
Another Crab's Treasure spends much of its runtime commenting on the dangers of capitalism, and the character of Firth is the perfect example of that.
Games Asylum: "It seems reasonable to suggest most people have a preferred takeaway establishment. The one that you always find yourself coming back to, much to your waistline’s despair. Should that takeaway temporarily close, you’ll doubtlessly have to expand horizons and go elsewhere. Sure, the food from a second choice might be palatable, but it’s never the same, lacking in zest. This analogy can be applied to the 3D Realms published WRATH. It’s powered by a modified version of the Quake engine, and even plays like ID’s masterful shooter at times, but it’s lacking that all important crunchiness. It isn’t completely soggy, but there’s not much bite either."
"The Cracow-based (Poland) indie games publisher Feardemic and Málaga-based (Spain) indie games developer Under the Bed Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that their folk horror 2D point-and-click adventure “Tales From Candleforth.“, is now available for PC (via Steam and GOG) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores" - Jonas Ek, TGG.

Facts are facts I suppose but to say that console gamers have left the market isnt really accurate, many factors contribute those figures the biggest of these is money, no matter how we spin it, it will always play a roll, allot of consumers simply cant keep up with inflation. Another factor is the waiting game, the Playstation showed growth this December compared to last and that is thanks to the Pro with many console gamers waiting its release.
No chance they just all spaced out over various consoles... I'm certainly going no where... Game on!
How long have we heard that console gaming is dead? It has and will have to adapt in the coming years but I'm sure it will be around. Even if it goes the way of streaming there will still be companies putting out some sort of dedicated box for it, or trying to anyways. Easy access to aaa games through a simple plug and play devise will be around for a very long time I imagine.
