>Gaming without boundaries
>No more generations
>Console updates every few years
That's it. They are going traditional consoles and consoles in general. There's a reason WHY there are console generations. People bought consoles to be done with it for a time and didnt need to bother with anything. They just needed to buy the games. Console updates will inevitably kill this concept. Nobody is going to buy into consoles anymore knowing they are obsolete in a few years. Nobody wants to play inferior versions. They are digging their own grave and Sony is following them.
This will literally be the videogame crash 2.0

No.
If console players really cared about having top of the line hardware, they wouldn't be console players.
They said a gorillion times that they're not going to leave anyone behind and the new system is just going to have better graphics and resolution. It's not like when the PC market gets better hardware, as it constantly does, they hold a gun to your head and say 'buy it or you can't play'.
Yep. If you recall your history, Atari and it's competitors did the exact same thing. And of course, Sega did something similar with the Genesis add ons.
People buy consoles because they are accessible, easy to use, and don't pull shit like this. Both Xbox and Playstation are done. They needed to sell more games, NOT consoles.
I'm glad to see Nintendo side stepping the issue. I think it's safe to say that NX won't fall into the same trap.
With more and more devs going multiplatform (even japanese ones), this will further strengthen the mentality people have, that PC might be the best place to play. Consoles are willingly giving up their advantages for incompetent devs like Bethesda who need more "power" for their games. Fact is: These devs will ALWAYS be incompetent. Give them more power and they will just long for even MORE. Power is literally not the problem with consoles this generations. 1080p with 60fps is possible. You just have to reduce graphical effects a bit and not be incompetent.
Console updates will change nothing. Games wont be suddenly better. Nothing will change. People will just stop buying consoles.

They dont care about top of the line hardware but they care about dumbed down versions. Just see the minor differences in resolution between PS4 and Xbone in some games. This will be nothing compared to what is coming. Incompetent devs focusing on the strong hardware and dumbing down their games for the weaker consoles making them looking like literal dogshit or with constant drops to like ~15 fps will be the norm. Nobody wants to play this. ANd these people wont buy the next console update. They will just stop buying consoles at all.

Exactly. History will repeat itself. The video game industry blew up and the bubble will burst once again.

I think Microsoft is going for casuals with dosh. Sony is focused on being cheap after the PS3. PC's can range from cheap to extremely expensive but are typically for enthusiasts although their budgets vary. Scorpio is going for the middle class kid whose parents can easily afford it or the young adult with a salaried job who plays mobile games but also wants to play whatever casual flavor of the month on his big screen 4K tv.

Yes and people are even clapping and cheering for them. Theo dont even know what the are doing.

OP's right
People are not ready to buy every 2years a new console.
The reason MS and Sony are pushing this shit is because of Apple,Samsung and their product-cycle.
But what MS and Sony don't understand is that a Smartphone, something you can show off to everybody outside and brag about it is something different than a fucking console.
Like OP said: Consoles are good because there are few of them and they last long.
Guys I'm serious. If you have any Stocks on MS,Sony or any other game company..now is the time to sell them.Mark my fucking words

Exactly. Here is what people and even the companies themself don't understand: After the last generation, people had trust, especially in Sony. They supported their PS3, even when it did bad in the beginning, from start to finish. Like 8 fucking years or something like that. They had trust. And this is why they bought the PS4 RIGHT FROM THE START. Even without systemseller games. That's why they sold 40 millions of them until now. But you can't repeat this every 2 or 3 years. Consoles are not smartphones. People will lose their trust and stop buying them. There will be retards who don't care or like the idea of console updates every few years but that is not the majority.
They should have builded on the strong start of this generation and focussed on the GAMES. Instead they do this shit, which will inevitably make them lose people who will buy their GAMES. Literally the next videogame crash.

I mean they are going to KILL traditional consoles and consoles in general.
Missed a word. sorry.

This is literally the realitiy. Go outside once in a while
>>341089519
not OP. but yea, it's sad but it's the truth
>>341082786
No. Console gamers are kiddies with money from their parents they will just buy the new console once they are out just like the last. Microsoft and Sony will swim in money and Nintendo will fall even more behind
