The 3DS has maybe 2 good years left. I read the link/forum and people were saying they did this when designing the 3DS.

This first look probably doesn't tell us much of anything.

There seems to be a huge overreaction in this thread. It's a patent, and one that may not even be used fully.

Still, it's interesting. The clamshell design was great, but I find myself enjoying the single screen design more.

Lol, so you diminish those established franchises and assume no new IP's or third party exclusives will be made? There's nothing more to say to you my friend, you have been Cowed.

Halo 5, Sunset Overdrive, Fable Legends, Killer Instinct Season 2, Halo 2 Anniversary, Quantum Break, and Gears of War 4 are one hell of a sideline, lol And that's just stuff we know is coming. TV, TV, TV might be the rally cry for Cows at the One, but the reality is that quick switching, Snap, Skype, and fantasy football/all sports eventually overlay with voice commands for TV and the entire system makes a quality entertainment package. What MS loses in processing power I'll live with considering the visuals of Ryse as a launch game, and whats coming with the Cloud and DX12. Not saying any of that double or triple Xbox One power BS, but I am looking forward to E3 showcasing the One's gaming prowess while enhancing and adding to the entertainment side. If all of that is still a TV focused box, one that will have tons of indie games and a great number of exclusive games then that's what I want.

Sony could have used the money from the sale of their HQ buildings to keep some of their employees at their 1st party studios as well. No one has even seen the shows yet, so how do you know if they are good or not? I guess you don't. Please stop talking out of your ass. Also, there is no secret GPU. Microsoft already squashed that rumor awhile ago.

You mean that when so many of us questioned Blu-Ray when it came out because steaming services was starting off were right? :o

pride in making the correct guess aside, this is pretty bad news, abeit predictable. Certain Things are nice to have on physical, and I absolutely hate to see any of the major players in the gaming industr hurt so badly -.-

Care level is always low when it's on PS3 or PS4, but as soon as it's on XB1 or XBox 360 it's the worse thing to ever happen to a game consoles and Microsoft isn't no longer focusing on games.lol!! Both companies are focus on games and other casual content to bring new customers to their systems. Sure, I can access most of the apps and stuff on my PC, laptop or tablet as well, but it's sometimes nice to having several apps you enjoy connected to your HDTV and only one or two clicks away. My daughter bounces from YouTube to Amazon to Netflix on my PS3 consistantly every day and she's only 4 years old. The days of game consoles only doing one thing (play games) ended with the Gamecube, XBox & PS2.
