Ex-Microsoft employee says consoles will be dead in 5 – 10 years
“The industry is fundamentally driven by technology. I think dedicated games devices i.e. consoles (and handhelds) will die [out] in the next 5 to 10 years. The business model is very risky and the costs associated with creating new hardware are incredibly high.” – Ex Microsoft of Europe employee, Sandy Duncan
Reason why you always can’t wait to get a new console or handheld that preceeds an old console! What ever tops the Wii and DS better have backwards compatability!
I agree with her — I think they’re just going to start developing PC addons and developing more PC games. It would make more sense, we need and use computers in our every day lives. They’re not going anywhere.
