Are we entering the final generation of console gaming?
Yeah, well the numbers dont lie.
Lets not forget hardware is a messy business, Moore says.
Moore expands on the smartphone point by citing a world dominated by social media content.
Its a familiar argument that many have been making since around the time the iPhone launched in 2007.
Then again, Moore says that Microsoft was also having versions of those conversations even back then.

We were saying then, in 2007, is this the last console generation?
Are we going to need another?
asks Moore as he paints an uncomfortable image.
God forbid its just incremental.
And I think that the companies are also looking at that.
What can we do to extend this life cycle?
Even still, those are hard questions that dont have easy answers.
While that conversation may have been slightly exaggerated at times, it has never gone away.
Perhaps console gaming as we know it isnt going to abruptly end quite yet.
It certainly seems that there will be at least some new consoles released in the relatively near future.
