http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7258120.stm Thoughts? A genuine view of the future, or some industry bigwigs sitting in a room talking about crap? I for one would resist the move to network gaming, I like having my games on a solid media. But maybe the day is coming when my grandkids wonder what those shiny discs are that grampa weeps over.
There will be a gaming box in your house for the next 10 years or so, probably beyond. I don't think gaming has reached the kind of penetration for this business model to work nor is the bandwidth there. If we ever hit a one console business then this is the next logical step, but I don't see either happening for a good while yet.
Heh. Maybe by that point kids will download game experiences directly into their heads via fibre optic. "OMG! I remember playing Super Mario Brothers: The Lost Levels all the way through on one sitting and not dying once ever! Grampa? Why are you crying?"
