The Future

I think there will defiantly be a future in this technology but it is unclear what it will be, the use of 'blue-ray' disks will be introduced allowing more data to be put on disks so bigger games will be produced, but this will come down to price.

The games will become more expensive as there will have to be more technology within the consoles to play them. This small article from the ‘bbc’, tell us what they think about modern games and how they will expand. I think this is a problem in itself, how can the consoles expand? Currently there is no new technology to go into the consoles, we have the HD and the blue-ray and wireless controllers, the only thing they can do is make the consoles smaller which doesn’t bring the technology forward at all. Unless a new type of game playing system is created e.g. no disks or a new memory format then there is a limited amount of thing that can be put into these consoles. This doesn’t really matter now as all 3 of the major consoles have just been released it will be 4-5 years before they will re-release of just bring out a new console. This means that the computers will take priority as they are continually expanding.

The other thing that will become huge in the future is the online gaming network, as they continually evolve it soon every one will be involved in it as it means that you can interact with friends over the other side of the world without having to see them and at very little cost to the user. This is really what it comes down to. If something is very cheap to use and also easy it will be take up by thousands of people, if it is expensive like the console then it will be limited to who uses it. This is really what the consumers of this technology want, they require cheap easy to use technologies, this is what the creators are trying to make and this will be the future.
