While one former PlayStation boss suggests we're nearing "a point where the console becomes irrelevant," one analyst believes the focus for hardware going forward will be for it to become "more open," even if one of the big three games companies might lag behind the rest in making that jump.
In a recent Eurogamer interview with the former president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America, Shawn Layden, it was suggested that this so-called irrelevance might not arrive in the next console generation, but the one after that. GamesRadar+ ran this idea of it not mattering what hardware or content a console has access to by Mat Piscatella, executive director of games at market research company Circana, who believes that "perhaps in an ideal world that would be the case."
