The way I view it is that we’re approaching the age where 100% realistic graphics in video gaming is no longer a pipe dream; why buy a computer this year when I can just upgrade my current one and wait two years when realistic graphics in video games is no longer a big deal, drop 2k on a good computer and never have to worry again.
What I mean by that is the current hype around computers and consoles is, “Graphics! We have the bestest graphics! Buy now!”, but once we hit the upper limit of what the human eye can see that’s it for the hype. After that there for everyday use will for the most part no longer be any reason to drop thousands of dollars on new computers.
After that happens computers as we currently know it will probably change. The reason being is that the current hype is towards better performance and video games is one of those things, but after we reach the point where better performing computers has no real effect on most of our daily life the industry will probably move towards making them cheaper and smaller.
Basically what I mean by that is I’m going to buy a computer in a year then wait another five years for a new computer, because in five years time your average computer will probably just be a small thing the size of ipod that you hook your monitor, keyboard, mouse and so forth into instead of a actual tower or so forth. We already have computers like that; hell there’s handheld sized computers that can play modern computers; they’re just super expensive though.
