PC Gaming Getting Cheaper?
#4
My guess is console gaming will get much cheaper in the next two generations. We will soon be at the point where console games have little necessity to become graphically superior. The current generation of consoles is almost there. I'll bet my last dollar the focus will be on more accurate physics and scenes of denser complexity rather than increasing individual object polygon counts.

Once physics are nailed down, the next step is accurately reproducing audio in accordance with the game environment in real time.

PC gaming will continue to showcase the upper limits of current technology, but the casual gamer will not be interested in 96x AA and higher. Console prices will drop while pc prices will remain comparatively high. I'll be shocked if Sony's next console exceeds $500USD.

As for Moore's law, without some new ideas it won't continue for many more years.
