Do you think this coming gen will be the last gen for consoles?

[up in here]

harcore console gamers dont have other options other then ps4 or next Xbox, Nintendo has tranished theyself wit hardcore gamers and will keep trying to catch the casual, which u right has other options, never will a gaming PC be more popular or played in the gaming community

Most people will never buy a pc that high, and then they will never upgrade hardware year after year cause they not confident wit opening they PC , I see all 3 surviving, I think Nintendo next console will be more hardcore because I think they will easily come in third place this Gen

I somewhat agree, but i think PC/Steam is opening options back up for hardcore gamers. Yes most people will never buy a high end PC, but most people aren't hardcore gamers. Most people are casual to mid level gamers, who now have other options. The heavy focus on specs/graphics in recent years gives PC gaming an edge over console gaming. of course PC gaming doesn't offer the same lounge room experience as console gaming, which is why i think the "gimmicks" get so much emphasis these days, because it differentiates console gaming from everything else.

so do you think its impossible that this will be MS' final console?

Pretty much yes. Only way that could happen for M$ is if they sold 20,000 consoles period.
M$ isn't in the same position as sony, sony has a lot more riding on this than M$ does
I'm not saying sony is not gonna make a ps5 because they will just give up
If the ps4 isn't successful, SONY the company won't be able to afford a ps5

But David Jaffe thinks this gen will be the last for consoles
