Over the next few years, which company do you think will have the biggest impact on gaming?

[Black Cat 39]

Sony

[Amon 4,279]

Valve

 

 

Once again, this poll totally isn't biased.

I think Google on this list should be replaced by Valve, but that's just my opinion.

 

Here's my take; either Sony or Microsoft will determine what a game console is in the near future. If it's hardware and software that requires the internet in some manner to function, if it's devices that connect everything together so you can talk to them through a camera/microphone, then Microsoft will have had the biggest impact. They are taking steps to rewrite what the process of gaming is; in the Microsoft, and probably EA, world, gaming is a service. You don't own the hardware, software, or any other devices. You're merely renting them, and when they decide they're useless, they'll be useless and unplayable offline. Even if Sony adopts something along these lines, Microsoft will still have taken that first step towards restricting how you play.

 

I'd caution against rallying to Sony yet. They may be just allowing Microsoft to take the fall for policies that are soon going to be industry-wide. I certainly hope that isn't the case, but expect we'll find out at E3.

Sony. The PlayStation3 and then the PlayStation 4.

Sony or Nintendo. The Wii U is badass, the PS4 is gonna be badass, all the others suck ass.

[Uchizumaki1 8]

Sony of course, its a no brainer.

I'm gonna shoot for the moon and say Nintendo will turn it around. I have faith.

reading this, i'm doubting any of the main companies are going to have the biggest impact at this point.

[The Transcendent Key 12,109]

Sony, hands down. I mean seriously, have you seen the epically orgasmic games they've made? All jokes aside though, Sony will make greater strides in the industry.

[Skai 3,961]

Square Enix *cough*

[Rob 5,571]

Sunny.

[RoxSox 3,593]

None of the above. It's the not the company that impacts the future of gaming, it's the consumer. What we decide to buy and play makes the impact on the future.

[J. Severe 1,137]

None of them. Atari will come back with their new console and make headlines.

[Anonn0000 3,525]

Square Enix Square Enix Square Enix.

 

 

I'm telling you people.......KH will become a serious craze someday.
