In an interview with the Daily Orange head competition video game publisher Electronic Arts Peter Moore admitted that he sees no future for consoles in their current form. In his opinion, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One may be the latest devices in its class, as in the long term personal hardware is not required.
Over the past few months, a large number of rumors that Sony and Microsoft will soon present a new game console. The main reason for such a move is called what the current generation is unable to cope with virtual reality and games in 4K resolution. At the time CEO of NVIDIA said that the days of consoles are numbered, and soon all the players will completely switch to PC. Now he was supported by chief operating officer of EA.
Peter Moore believes the future lies in streaming services, and specialized gaming system (“intermediaries”) will eventually become a relic of the past.
“When you want to play in the conventional Battlefield 12, we will only need the monitor, but whatever comes to hand. To start the game will need just a chip (for communication with the Internet — approx. ed.) not a whole box,” said Moore.
Top Manager EA does not claim that this will happen in the coming years, however with his opinion according to many other experts.
In addition, Peter Moore restrained relates to virtual reality devices like Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. “It will be some time before VR will play a major role in the entertainment industry, — said Peter. — At this stage, VR is the device difficult to use long enough. In addition, they limit the player’s movement. Also, there is a drawback as the fact that putting on the VR helmet, the man isolates himself from the outside world. Today’s headsets is not enough “social””.
