    "I said to him, 'well what does the PlayStation 5 look like?' And he said, ‘you mean if’. And I was like, ‘whoa, are you willing to say that on a stage?' And he goes ‘yeah, it’s an if’. It was a really interesting thing and he didn’t give me a clear answer but he’s hinting at ‘we ned to be more agile. None of us know what the future will be like so how do we adapt to it faster’".

    I also read about that, they call it "5D" storage. They are storing the informations in the atomic nuclei, looking up the direction of the spin and the position of the atoms in the molecular structure. Very cool :)

    Solid media isn't going anywhere, especially with the way people've freaked out about privacy in the last decade.   There's also more people waking up to crippling DRM, which could go in a few different ways.  Many people like to own their stuff, and streaming isn't what most people have in mind.  

     

    Well, when i look up Steam and other digital plattforms for downloading and its rising, i think this will be the future. It's like in the end 90ths, where they said, MP3 and digital music won't grow. They did.

     

    Five years ago, i never thought about buying games online. But Steam and games like PZ changed my mind. As someone born in the earlys 80th, i also don't like that direction too. I also try to stick with solid media. This change will last another decade, like in the past - an other generation will decide about it.

    There's still a need for high processing power. It's just that you can stream the result to something like a tablet.

     

    Yes of course, but you won't need any extra device (except a controller which you link to your tv or tablet). There will also no need for physical media like cds or dvds or b-rays or anything else, no need for installations (except the app running on your tv or tablet). The backend (streaming service) requires a good amount of high end cluster "pcs". For the manufacturers, like Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo there won't be any need for different devices to run/stream the software.

     

    This progress won't have any conflict to the selling strategies of the manufacturers. There will still be Playstation, Xbox and others. The difference for the customers will be the form of subscription. You'll still stick with Playstation Plus (or Playstation Now, whatever they'll call it), Xbox Gold and whatever they'll bring up.

     

    But it's a huge difference in production of the games. No game ports anymore, no different hardware specs you have to compare from, less testing. They will spare money at the production, they will spare at publishing (no more cutting disks) and they will spare the subsidy for the device.

     

    Don't worry - the market for games won't die - but the whole concept of different devices will disappear.

     

    Edit:

     

    And also don't worry - you'll have fun with your PS4 at least 5 to 8 years. Depends on how fast the market will change.

    How will they stream from a console if said console is too weak to run the game itself?

    For example, how can I stream GTA V to my phone from my console if the console can't run the game?

     

    I dunno understand what you like to say. If the game won't run, you can't play it anyway.

     

    But even for GTA V it's possible:

    Crossgaming? Google came up empty, so I don't know how to respond here.

     

    Smart TV's being as powerful as a console claim doesn't seem to hold much ground after some Google-usage. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen anything that even remotely matches the power of the PS4. If I'm wrong, which I probably am, please correct me.

     

    Not sure what you mean by there will be no need for extra devices since everything will "build in."

    Exclusives are the reason why people buy multiple consoles. When I wanted to buy a new console, I chose the PS4 because I liked the exclusives more than the ones on the Xbox One. I have a gaming PC for most games, and a PS4 for comfortable casual gaming.

     

    [...]

     

    Cross gaming:

    Gaming between different plattforms like Windows, OSX, Linux, tablets, smartphones - like Rocket League, where PC players are able to play with Xbox and PS4.

     

    I'm talking about the future, but you also will find such concepts today like GameFly from Samsung (streaming games to tv), Playstation Now for Sony tvs (streaming PS3 games) or remote streaming for Xbox One to Windows 10 devices (streaming Xbox One games).

     

    So yes, the next step will be the reduce of the console. No need for physical media anymore. There will still be exclusive titels, like Microsoft does with it's new store.

     

    This is also a winning situation for the manufacturers, because they always subsidize the hardware itself. They will spare a lot of money.

    Consoles are a dying market? That's news to me.

     

     

    We're at the point, where smartTVs get an equal performance to consoles. Everything is changing to clouds and downloads and also crossgaming is a comming market.

     

    In the next few years, there is no more need for extra devices - everything will be build in. So yes, consoles will die - next generation will be somthing different.

    Just make sure you download your graphics drivers from some place other than Windows Update.

     

    . notebook is about 2 month old - got a geforce gtx 960m inside, new driveras are available as it tolds me =)

    .

    A GTX 960m in a NOTEBOOK?!

    Holy shit, how? My old laptop (used Alienware M15x) had a GTX 260m, and if you look up a picture of it you can see it's huge.

     

     

    yes, it's really fast. costs about 989€ in germany with a different hdd.

    second attempt was fine.

     

    installation at my desktop is also different. it says, there isn't enough free space on my 256 ssd because win7 only created a 100mb temp drive instead of a 350mb drive. so i changed my partitions and update is running now - i'm looking forward what will happen next =)
