Is This The Last Console Generation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the\nend of 2020 draws nearer, the new wave of consoles is set to be released to the\nworld. The PS5 and Xbox Series X are here, at last, and gamers<\/a> are eager to see what the future holds. But, at the same time, this may\nwell be the last console generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It almost\nseems too bizarre to be true, but a quick look at technological advancements\npaints a very clear picture. Namely that there really is not much reason to\nkeep building physical console hardware anymore. It just doesn\u2019t make any sense\nto keep doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?\nBecause the future is very clearly online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Future Is Online<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video\ngame streaming service Stadia may have been a pretty abysmal disappointment<\/a>, with the vast majority writing it off as a\nbad joke almost immediately upon it being released. Very simply put; Google\npromised the world with Stadia, and failed to live up to those promises in\nalmost every regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4K\nresolutions were advertised, for example, and running at 60 FPS no less.\nNeedless to say Stadia was not capable of coming close to those lofty\nbenchmarks.But, just because Stadia was a failure, it doesn\u2019t mean that the\nconcept isn\u2019t still sound. What isn\u2019t to like about doing away with physical\nhardware entirely, yet still having instant access to gaming on virtually any\ndevice in your home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Limitations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that\nbeing said, there are still some pretty major hurdles to overcome before a\nservice like Stadia is broadly available, or even possible. Or at least, before\nit is available to more than the extreme minority in a few key metros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is,\nafter all, good and well to visit this site<\/a> and\nget instant access to online betting, but streamed video games is another beast\nentirely.An incredibly fast, reliable, and stable internet connection is\nneeded, if a streamed game is going to come anywhere close to meeting the\nstandards set by physical hardware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless\nto say the vast majority of the world does not have the connection required.\nBut it really is probably just a matter of time before that changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5G Is The Key<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As 5G\nrolls out around the world, and gradually becomes mass adopted, streaming games\nwill not just be probable, it will be easily possible. So Stadia may have\nsimply jumped the gun attempting to launch before 5G, with the results of that\nbraveinitiative being a resounding flop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But 5G is\ninevitable, and with it very likely comes an end for the end for the need for\nphysical hardware. It will, naturally, not be a quick transition, given how\naccustomed gamers are to using hardware. But it doesn\u2019t take a genius to see\nthat the future of gaming is still very much online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will\nstill be some time before 5G becomes standard, and so by extension it will\nstill be some time before streamed gaming becomes the norm like streamed TV<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\nisn\u2019t an exaggeration to say that this may well be the last physical console\ngeneration, if technology continues down the path it is currently on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
