Entertainment in 2020 (part 2)


2020 may mark the last year we'll see new gaming consoles enter the market, but it's going to be a great year, with the arrival of the new Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X (and maybe something from Nintendo?) Gaming consoles have been around for 4 solid decades, but it is looking less and less likely that they will continue to be necessary in the future. Google's Stadia is unfortunately going to create an entirely different landscape, where online game streaming replaces the need for a console entirely. Sony and Microsoft are actually teaming up to combine their own resources to compete with Stadia, creating their own joint online gaming service. Soon, we will be streaming games on our TV's, with only the controllers remaining as the single piece of gaming hardware that survives into the future.
