EA - Peter Moore's Thoughts on the Future

@The Daily Orange According to EA Chief Peter Moore consoles will be replaced by streaming technology, mobile is huge and getting bigger, e-sports are becoming real sports and vr will be a major part of gaming eventually.

Similar to how it's changed television and video media in general, streaming is likely going change the way people play games. Moore envisions a future in which there will be no game console. It seems that the only physical thing gamers will own is a monitor of some sort, a flash drive-like device and a controller.

"I'm not sure there will be consoles, as we know them anymore," Moore said. "Games will be accessed by streaming technology, so we don't need hardware intermediaries in between the two. If you and I want to play ‘Battlefield 12' against each other, we'll just jump into a game via whatever monitor we happen to have in our homes. It'll be on a chip, rather than in a box."

He added that the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are well set up to advance as technology does, so we may never see another console produced by Microsoft or Sony ever again.
