For me it seems Sony will have PS6 but won't have PS7 because of these Last Times. The World enters the new additional Main Quest line not to take the Mark of the Beast (as written in the Bible), and if PS7 - then I think it would be mostly internet based - with satellites providing internet everywhere. PS6 probably will have heavy AI influence like very heavy AI influence. XBOX brand going for multiple console types, like handheld variations, console variations, with emphasis on raw brutal power. Nintendo Switch 2 is the last console for them. The Last Times we are in - this evil fucking demonic shit need to pass, it looks like the Holy Trinity showing us how great gaming is, and like a glimpse of what could we enjoy in the Eternity. We are gamers here, today I'm thinking about how awesome it is for the Switch 2 to have RT support, and how good TOTK looks. Thinking what to do next in FO4 (first time playing it), and to finally beat DMC5. We gamers have a very specific mindset because we're familiar with video games like - a game has a main quest, side quests, gameplay mechanics. The Last Times... Antichrist, Mark of the Beast, wars... exactly like written in the Bible, now additional Main Quest - not to take MOTB. And more for predictions. Doom the Dark Ages is as good as Eternal in reviews. New 3D Mario next year.

Your predictions?

What the fuck did I just read?

I'm not that old, but old enough to remember at least 4 end of days type of events that have come and gone. As for playstation, I'm also old enough to remember when the PS4 came out and the narrative was "We'll get a PS5, but that's probably it. No PS6"

Who cares what's going to happen in the future?

- PS6 doesn’t release until 2029

- PS5 sells 130 million units

- Switch sells 159 million units

- Switch 2 sells 140 million units

- Xbox becomes a PC brand like ROG

- Streaming doesn’t take off at all due to ownership issues

- Steambox 2 once again flops

- VR sticks around, but doesn’t take off due to motion sickness issues being unavoidable

The End of Consoles:
next gen will be the final traditional console generation, everything after that will be hybrid PC stuff with custom TV friendly frontends.

Microsoft will already go that way next gen, Sony will follow one gen after that.
Nintendo will be the final one with a closed system, since they now follow the handheld generation schedule and because they will try to stay in the closed system market through special gimmicks.


The End of Cloud Gaming:
Cloud gaming will be dead in 10 years, as small form factor PCs, mobile devices and other everyday devices will easily be able to play any game on the market natively.
this will come to be due to the increasing stagnation in game graphics and complexity, which is in part happening due to diminishing returns and due to lack of manpower to push significantly beyond what AAA games do now.

The only reason cloud gaming even exists is to play high end suff on low end hardware. with this becoming less and less of an issue, cloud gaming will lose its main reason to even exist.
another secondary reason is storage and the lack of a download, so you can just launch a game instantly. this reason isn't the best. storage space will continue to go up, and game sizes will not increase meaningfully beyond current gen AAA titles... which is again due to diminishing returns and manpower limiting scope.

Amen amen

I also feel like PS6s era would be the final era before you know what happens.

Due to US tariffs, the OG Switch remains the only affordable gaming system and goes on to surpass 200 million sales, prompting Sony ponies and execs the world over to commit sudoku. Sony tries to course correct by having ND redesign Intergalactic so it’s a new, open-galaxy Astrobot game that gets all the nominees in all gaming categories for every gaming award until the end of times. MS buys Android and makes every Android device an Xbox, and gets lifetime exclusivity for the HD-2D remake of Chrono Trigger. NeoGAF develops so many new forms of craziness, it becomes the optimal case study for the DMS-6. The DMS-6 is released before GTA6.

OP's post was just fucking stupid. To answer the question from the thread title, which was at least coherent:

I think we're going to see indie development supplant a lot of projects for AAA studios. You'll still have your heavy hitters, but small, proven teams that are capable of "Triple-I" sorta production are probably going to be appealing for big publishers to pad out their libraries. We're at a point where small developers can produce content that's "good enough" for 99.9% of audiences, so you throw the right marketing at that, and you have massively cheaper opportunities to produce a hit that, even if it doesn't sell, is still a palatable loss. We're already seeing the start of that, but I think it's going to accelerate dramatically in the next 1-2 years, as the gaming market recovers.

Some big games will be good, some will disappoint.
GTA6 will not be as successful as GTA5.

Microsoft will get the Halo franchise in good order.
Nintendo will lower the Switch 2 price in a year, or introduce a lower priced model.
Sony will finally get some games out.

The western industry main developers (EA, Acti, Ubi) will fall even lower, being saved only by ever growing indies and AA scene.
The asian industry will explode (mostly in China and Korea) while Japan polishes their guns to keep their legacy alive (Capcom, Bamco, Sega and Square carrying the torch).

Consolidation: Fewer indie games. More big fish or bigger fish.

Curation: Will become necessary due to AI dev, as if asset flips weren't enough. Even Steam will cut out a lot of that shit. Positive feedback loop with consolidation.

Consoles: The death of the games console is wildly exaggerated. Sony will not leave as long as people are willing to buy, and there will always be a demand for a dedicated device for gaming. Large PC hardware amongst general consumers and casual PC gamers is probably what's going to become less necessary as people get more with less using AI.

AI will be incorporated way more into game development, obviously.

The hot take mind blowing part is that the content it puts out will be waaaaaay better than most human-only crafted experiences, with way more depth to level design, combat, and physics systems than most devs are capable of. The human touch will still be needed for art style and lore, of course, but the gaming part will be substantially improved.

Somehow even crazier than OP’s post. Why on earth would there be fewer indie games when there are less and less barriers to making them? Schedule 1 is dominating AAAs on Steam and it’s a one man project. But you think we will get less of that and more 200 mil+ budget games?
