I really do worry about the industry at large though. Death of consoles would freaking suck even if we're all moving towards streaming anyway.It's kind of strange.
On the one hand it seems like MS, Sony seem like they're heading towards getting rid of consoles. Consoles seem less important if you can play everything on PC.
On the other hand, a lot of mainstream games can already be played on PC. CoD, Assassin's Creed, GTA, and all the other big multiplats are already on PC. Yet plenty of people buy consoles to play those kinds of games.
It seems possible for consoles to stay relevant, not for the games, but for the convenience factor.
Horizon will be followed by others down the road - you don't need to Dream too hard to guess. But Xbox is already well-established launching games on PC at the same time, and eager to explore Switch...
