John Romero, co-creator of the DOOM series, says that while other consoles are getting closer and closer to blurring the line between console and PC, Nintendo will be immune from a shift making gaming PCs available to the mass market.
My prediction is that the game console in the vein of the PS3 and XBOX 360 is going to either undergo a massive rethink or go away altogether. The Wii has the perfect design for a console that doesn’t pretend to be a PC and is geared more toward casual gamers than hardcore gamers. The hardcore gamers are going to either be playing on their PCs or a new PC-like platform that sits in the living room but still serves the whole house over wifi, even the video signal.Â
