Are Gaming Consoles Dying?
Die-hard gaming console fans get furious at the thought of gaming consoles dying and being replaced by equally or much more powerful mobile gaming devices. I personally love Gaming Consoles and believe they'll continue for a long time, but the technology updates may just make them go out of business.
Gaming consoles used to be quite advanced in terms of their technical (hardware) configuration as compared to other types of gaming devices. A dedicated machine for gaming would let you play graphics intensive games with ease and offer a 'full gaming experience' on bigger screens. In terms of what they offered to the games, gaming consoles were much advanced.
Note - I said 'were'. Because the recent advancement in electronics has led to our mobile devices having more computing power than the computers we owned only a few years ago. Gaming consoles can't follow those hardware enhancements just as quickly as possible, because there's a whole ecosystem around gaming console that needs an upgrade.
For example, it takes years of development for any gaming console to get ready. By the time it gets ready, the GPU and CPU technology is already advanced. Plus, the game developers take months & years to develop a game that extracts the most out of current gaming platform. Those games take time to keep up with the hardware & firmware enhancements.
I'm envisioning a new type of gaming systems to evolve in near future. Your mobile will bundle as the gaming console and joystick. You will just connect your mobile with your TV through Wi-Fi and your mobile will start streaming the gameplay directly to your TV.
I'm quite sure in future your gaming consoles will find a place in your pockets. Do you agree?
