In addition to showcasing some real nifty bits of technology yesterday, HP held a panel on gaming featuring some industry types, like Games For Windows director Rick Wickham and Trion World Networks CEO Lars Butler.
In what was surely a fun, backslapping roundtable foretelling great fortune on the PC gaming Windows platform, Butler received a message from the future, one that told him that the gaming console biz was on its last legs, CVG reports.
Quiet! Lars Butler's speaking:
I believe the days of the console are numbered. There is one more generation of gaming consoles and that is it.
Well, I believe I can fly. Furthermore, I believe I can touch the sky.
With consoles becoming more and more PC-like (i.e. network ready, stock rewritable storage, totally patchable), it makes me wonder what distinction we'll have between the two in the next-gen. But, one thing I know for sure, when Trion World Networks speaks, people listen.
