There is always talk of the Future Of The Gaming World. What's hot and what's not? Everyone seems to be on about it. Anybody who's anybody wants to know will the gaming industry meet it's demise or will it stay storng and when this will happen. We now look through the my crystal ball of the future...
In the future of Nintendo, I see good things. I believe that the N64's life will end unexpectedly abruptly. The Gamecube will do Nintendo justice, earning them back some of their hard-sought glory.
For Sega, I see a surprisingly good end for them. Even though the liquidation of the Dreamcast hit them hard, I believe that they will bounce back with a...lets just say a revolution.
Microsoft will stay as strong as ever, keeping both the home computer and the X-Box on save haven. PC's graphics can already not be surpassed by Sega or Gamecube by a huge benchmark but they can be beateb, hence why Microsoft came up with the gargantuan, the X-Box, which looks very impressive. I can see Microsoft being the supreme platform, despite Microsoft losing a lot of popularity after a lof of bugs in the early models of the X-Box, much like the new versions of PC Applications, eg. Windows ME.
Sony's future will not be so bright. The PlayStation is probably the most famous console on the market as of right now but that shall change come late 2001 and 2002. After a rather disappointing bombardment of shoddy games with the launch of the widely overestimates PS2, a lot of people would not have shelled out the small fortune for a PS2 if they would have known beforehand. Sony will either release a PS2 and it will flop or there will be a "speed bump" i the road to recovery of Sony.
I also see a lot of the old consoles becoming valuabe and possibly selling for hundreds and possibly thousands of pounds.
The question that everyone wants to know is, "Will the gaming industry meet it's demise and if so, when?". I have a hunch that this business will keep going smoothly for a VERY long time. It may have a few bad "dips" here and there but those will be made up by some classic game titles.
There are the opinions from through my crystal ball. Now, all we can do is sit back and see if the predictions are correct.
Thank you for reading.

Yea, Although I never saw my N64 and PSX selling for thousands of pounds, at least I will get more for em, when I sell them to get my GC and PS2 next year!!

Nice predictions, although some have said that the Xbox will need to deliver great games to succeed Im not to sure. Average games could do... the Xbox seems to be directly targeting homes as a set top box that does everything.
As for Sony their next big move will decide their future..they need an add on for the PS2 that will give PS2 owners everything that Xbox owners will be getting...that means online gaming, a hard drive, and a headset to communicate over the internet.
The future will certainally hold some suprises, and Im not sure great games will ensure the success of the new consoles. Marketting and ease of use are the key to the future.
