    I remember when the current generation of consoles came out (Series X/S and PS5) that both MS and Sony and all the various gaming magazines were claiming that they would be the last hardware consoles ever. Uh huh.

      Maybe they realised cloud gaming is shite. Yeh for some it suits but look up the abandoned cloud gaming projects.

        Yeah, discs are still a thing for Xbox and PS5, steam decks just download these really big folders for each game’s files to your SD card like our PCs do and the Switch has its tiny cartridges you keep in a little box in your carrying case like previous nintendo handhelds.

        Probably. But I still find it funny how they were pushing so hard into making people believe there would be no more hardware generations.
