Not sure myself, but if this guy is right it can only be good news for PC gamers: no more envious glaring at console corner because they have this, that or the other game and we don't.

There's always talk about consoles dying out, and there is some genuine thought this could be the last console generation. Certainly as we've known them in their current and previous guises, the next next consoles are likely to be very different.

There is likely to always be a need for a dedicated, straight from the box gaming option. It's just as technology advances, who's to say something as simple as a phone couldn't power all the games you want via wireless conectivity to your Tv.

True. Either way, the sooner we see an end to the PS3 vs Xbox 360 vs PC vs Wii wars the better. Are we that far away from the day when anyone can buy any game they want, instead of being pissed off that it isn't available on their machine?
