The "hardcore" future

[retrolinkx]

Well, PC gaming is dying as well.

Apart from emulation, and old games on steam. You're mainly getting console ports, games that were designed for console or RTS's and such that are designed for PC.

If the next gen will have to utilize some new form of playing, that can't be redone on the keyboard and mouse, you'd be losing a lot of third party games. The Wii U can be catered towards both, but the the new Kinectbox, you'd probably not be getting any of that, and the new PlayStation could be move only, much like the Wii, so you'd probably getting nothing of that.

Besides, gaming is dying and dying very quickly, people like you and me can see this, but many of the casuals will still let money pour into the industry for their new and innovative Call of Duty games, but even then, the casuals will soon see that after a while, even this game is getting boring.

I predict a new gaming crash to come soon, hopefully, getting rid of most companies, and allowing new and better ones to take their place, and this will allow consoles to stay, along with PC's.

Also if consoles go away, all the console gamers, could move to PC, so you'd be finding a lot of 13 year olds clogging up your favorite server, bring PC gaming down.

Just look at Team Fortress now.
