I doubt consoles will disappear. Unlike most others on the list, gaming consoles have been around for longer than a decade.

I agree, plus he says they will just be integrated into the TV and not standalone anymore. Does he think that Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony will just all agree to stop competing and make one console.

ABizzel14569d ago

Sony's the only one who can even consider the TV integration since they actually make TV's. If anything consoles will be services like Steam and Onlive. MS and Sony will move to digital only, and you can download your games to any appropriate device that's PlayStation or Xbox certified like Sony's already doing. That's the only way I see consoles leaving.

Now we'll be saying can it run Uncharted or Gears.

Exactly. Plus, there is not even a slight decrease in demand for gaming consoles. If anything, there will be more gaming consoles in 2020.

plus the article talked about them being replaced for set top boxes. in that case i think the PS3 is safe then.

SirBillyBones4569d ago

Yahoo barely know fuck all about anything. They just scrape together what little knowledge they have and spew out this crappy articles.

Speed-Racer4569d ago

Well to be fair Yahoo didn't write that. It's a MainStreet article (never heard of them), and Yahoo just re-syndicates it under their name.

woah this list is bugged.
videogame consoles will be around
cds and dvds in some form

and standalone gps systems will be around in 2020 for the simple fact that the most of the cars cars in 2011 dont have their own gps systems so in 2020 when those cars are used and people are buying em im sure they will buy a gps too. I cant stand my phone as a gps 1/2 the time
