Bitch-maker and Doom co-creator John Romero (above, mass of hair) offers his two cents on where gaming is headed. And where is that? The PC. (Surprise!) He says that cheaper processors will mean a shift away from consoles, adding:

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.

So, Sony and Microsoft are screwed, but Nintendo isn't? Fanboy. Brian Ashcraft
