You may worry about the Sony/Microsoft
deal to compete in the cloud gaming space and suspect we will soon be
seeing an X-Station or a Playbox console merger, but it is doubtful
the console market will continue much longer. With more and more
people getting high speed internet connections, cloud gaming will
eventually usurp the rule of gaming consoles, eventually rendering
them extinct. Although things are nowhere near established enough to
negatively affect the next cycle of consoles (Playstation 5 and
Xbox2???...how confusing!) it is looking like the game industry is
moving to the cloud. Google's approach to sell a proprietary game
controller is what we will likely be seeing from companies like Sony
and Microsoft after the next console generation. But what does cloud
gaming mean for the rest of us? If the music industry is any
indication of the future of gaming, then there are some positives and
negatives we should be prepared for...
