PS4, Xbox 720 will be ‘service orientated’, more accessible – THQ

THQ boss Brian Farrell might not be sure if there will be any more new consoles in the future, but if there are he believes they will be less centred on raw power and more focused on accessible services and user interfaces.

Speaking at GamesBeat 2011, Farrell also believes Google and Apple will have a presence next to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.

"We believe Apple is going to be there, Google is going to be there," he said. "Our view is that the next generation of consoles, if there are consoles, are going to be less about technology and more about service orientation of the gamer."
