Yeah, it's called the PS4, it sets records, the mass market loves it. Why change a model that works like a charm? Because both of it competitors have been forced to venture out to find success other places doesn't mean the current model isn't working.

People said consoles were dead before, then the PS4 happened and proved them all wrong.

pretty sure the Wii happened first..

on that note though, I agree with what you are saying. It's hard to change something when the model still proves that it works.

I am interested in more to see what Nintendo might have in store. Microsoft's comments were vague and not very telling considering we shouldn't see any sort of successor anytime soon. Nintendo's future is almost upon us, so to them we look for any sort of new ideas.

We shall see soon enough I guess..

"pretty sure the Wii happened first.. "

Sure, but the Wii wasn't hitting the same market. It hit a different demographic, one the Wii U was not able to replicate.

It's an anomaly.

PlayStation is a better example considering they hit 100 million consistently in a stable demographic of your average Gamer, not your Mom or Auntie.

And ps2 happened even before wii.

indysurfn3381d ago

yeah but speaking to the points of the article.

It is actually awesome in sight on what could be. I for one did not know about that razor laptop. It makes sense.

Didnt the xbox have a hard drive that you could change! YEP!

It would be a way also for Nintendo to make the most important thing 1st party exclusives, instead of hardware specs because everyone will be up gradable once they launch it.

We will definitely move away from the traditional console. The signs are there. MS is already hinting at it. XO|Win10 /hardware upgrades?

Nintendo won't release an ordinary, traditional console. Be it motion, or a tablet controller.. They will come up with something only they can get away with ^_^.

Sony doing VR with the PS4. The signs are there..

Next_Gen each console will be doing all sorts. Enough to have their own distinct identities.

The traditional console model has been successful for the past 44 years, I don't see why it would change.

The computer and console market will always appeal to different markets.

Consoles only been successful since the Nintendo Entertainment System have you not heard of the great video game crash

iceman063381d ago

E.T. didn't crash anything. However, it WAS one of the best examples of why the crash happened. Plus, it was just Atari that suffered. Coleco and Intellivison went down as well.

PhoenixUp3382d ago

Consoles were successful before the NES released. That's why it was called a crash.

The Magnavox Odyssey starting the console market and Atari 2600 expanding the market by selling 26 million can be considered successes.

ARESWARLORD3381d ago

No man Success is Not when your company goes out of business from releasing games like ET

PhoenixUp3376d ago

You're forgetting that consoles were still successful before that

Barnaby-Jones3382d ago

Change is definitely in the air whether you like it or not. Any talk of whether it's good or bad is nothing but speculation at this point until we get more official info. I, for one, am excited to see if these changes improve gaming in the future.

DivineAssault 3381d ago

Consoles are not dead and the blueprints are there.. Every generation, more improved hardware in a system.. It has been happening since gaming began and will continue happening that way for a long time.. Until everyones wifi evolves and is lightning fast globally, people will buy dedicated hardware every gen..

When wifi gets to the point where its not spotty in most regions and can handle streaming and downloading of digital software fast n smooth, it might shift. However there will always be people like me who want physical media so thats a market every company will need to keep in mind if they hope to succeed..

Castle Cab Is a Crazy Taxi-like Co-op Game That's Coming to Switch and Steam

"Sega's Crazy Taxi is an arcade driving classic. It introduced the concept of picking up fares in a taxi and then delivering them to a destination at a breakneck pace. A few games have been inspired by Crazy Taxi, the most interesting of which has to be the upcoming Castle Cab from new indie Australian developer Royal Reign Studios. Not only does Castle Cab take place in a fun medieval setting, it will also feature 4-player split-screen co-op," says Co-Optimus.
