How long do you think the future of gaming has left? I'm not talking about gaming coming to an end, but gaming reaching a point where it cannnot be improved upon. But what am I saying? Of course there's always room for improvement. Or is there? There's always a lull in development time between consoles. This has recently been roughly 2 to 3 years until the next big step forwards. As the consoles have become more advanced though, we have seen the time between them increase. But how long until consoles can't be improved? Will this be when we can have full VR and AI in the home, or when a new type of gaming has been developed that is so addictive that it will be used as an industry standard? Remember, the Master System used to be the bees knees, but now it has been surpassed massively in a short space of time. If this can be done so quickly for that type of media then there's no reason why it can't be done for this one.

Key skills? Is that like learning to make them or use them?


I'm joking. Really.
