Re: console gaming on its last legs? PC's have been considered "Dead" now for 10 years, too.
Consoles aren't going away any time soon. Consoles are easy to use, universal, cheap (relatively) and powerful.... and popular. Furthermore, they are EXPANDING in capability, not dying out as dinosaurs (A game "Console" only).... they are becoming like Home media centers, integrating online video with home, gaming, storage, etc. If anything they are merging with a PC's turf, and I still see plenty more room for convergence.
Maybe one day, but nope. They're far from dead. Same with PC's. PC's still are far more versatile then Laptops, Netbooks and various small "Smart" devices. I know it's "possible" to get by without a PC and just a Laptop, etc... but I'd have to say... Why?

said by KrK:PC's have been considered "Dead" now for 10 years, too. Thank you. I've been hearing that for a long time but haven't seen any substantial evidence of it. Furthermore, the article states consoles are dieing and then goes on to say that physical media may be disappearing soon. Clearly the interview was taken out of context. There's a difference between "consoles" and "physical media". You can keep a game on a network in the cloud all you want but you won't be playing it anytime soon without.. a console!
What a dumb ass editor.
