Square Enix believes Death of Consoles is nigh!
Yoichi Sawa, CEO of the famous RPG King Square Enix, believes that the gaming industry must prepare for the end of the home console and move onto digital distribution and server based games.
In ten years’ time a lot of what we call ‘console games’ won’t exist,” he said.
Wada warned that “all the distributors and sales firms will suffer a big negative impact” from a new era in which interactive entertainment switches from software run on hardware in the home to server-based offerings, game streaming and digital distribution.
He claimed that format-holders including Sony and Microsoft are already prepared for the shift – and that third-parties must follow suit.
Do his predictions have any truth in their words? We’ll find out, in ten years time!

Well, you could call me the young one and the foreign one, being still a teenager and from the UK. I report primarily news that hardcore RPG and Nintendo fans find interesting. If you need info on underground RPGs and classic freeware games, I'm your man.
