3 Myths of the Cloud Vs. Console Gaming War
CNN headline: "Why console gaming is dying."
It's no surprise that it's relatively easy to find an article suggesting that cloud gaming is the future of video games. What might be surprising is that the article I mentioned above is from 2012. The worry about console gaming's decline then was connected to the popularity of mobile games.
In today's world, where companies from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) to Alphabet are jumping into cloud gaming with both feet, is this the end of the traditional console? In a word, no. Mobile gaming has been a fast-growing part of the gaming market, yet it didn't spell the end of traditional consoles. In the same way, cloud gaming services may take a portion of the market, but they won't take over the industry, as some analysts assume.
