The "hardcore" future

[The Antagonist]

Recently, listening to the podcast of "Game Over", the presenter, Funs, declared his humble opinion after making a good PC for himself as God intended. And after seeing the gaming panorama, the hardcore group won't have any choice than changing to the PC in the not too distant future if they want to remain true to its gaming essence. I totally agree with this statement, I'll explain.

Look at the direction of the companies, not only Nintendo, which started it all with the Wii, but also Sony, with its Move, and Microsoft, with its Kinect and his eagerness to transform Xbox into a brand leader in the overall multimedia entertainment, and not only (but focused) in video games. Look at the mobile sector, it would not surprise me if the portable consoles will disappear in, at least, one generation more, by implementing the games in mobile , tablets, etc... That, hopefully, will already have portable gaming power to match up to, like for example, PS Vita, or at least like that.

While the Wii U goes his path, we see as the next Playstation appears to implement a gaming system like the Wii U's tablet, and Microsoft, meanwhile, seems to put all the eggs in one basket with Kinect, and I'm not afraid to admit that the next Xbox, as strongly rumored, will come with Kinect 2.0, so imagine... Not to mention the habit of connecting Xbox to all tablet or mobile living, and offer multimedia (movies, music ...) in abundance.

So, where is all that 100% approach to the gamer and hardcore? Where is the concern to offer consoles focused on the games, for the player? Instead, look at the PC. The PC is not governed by any rule issued by companies, is customizable to your taste (to suit the gamer) both outside and inside. And with platforms such as Steam or Origin.

In a few years, I don't think the concept of "console" will exist, at least as a device focused on games. So, at least, and thankfully, we still have the PC.

What do you think about this? You agree? You refuse to accept it?
