Kojima Predicts the End of the Console

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-predict-pizza dept.

nathanielinbrazil writes "Konami founder and developer Hideo Kojima predicts gaming console is a dying breed. Anticipates gaming on demand via Internet. 'It's a bold prediction,' Sony Computer Entertainment Japan President Hiroshi Kawano told reporters nervously. 'We hope he continues to develop for platforms, but we deeply respect his sense of taking on a challenge.' Kojima launches his follow-up game Heavy Metal Solid Gear: Peace Walker in late April designed for the PSP."

    If you switch exclusively to HTPC gaming, what do you plan to do when friends come over, or when a relative drops kids off at your house?

    A - Have a party.
    B - Sell them on the black market.

    I find the lack of commas alarming. William Shatner could never read that if it was in a script.

    Aside from steam, I've ditched computer gaming too.

    Aside from cigarettes, I've given up smoking.
