What features could possibly make consoles stand out from other devices/PCs at this point, though? I'm drawing a total blank, and it seems Microsoft and Sony are too.

If consoles went back to being solely about games it'd be for the better than attempt to be media center devices and whatnot.

And play games straight from the discs, but I guess that's not possible.

Would be a hard sell trying to convince people less is more. If people really want to, they can already use them solely for gaming.

It might be possible, but if so it would increase load times substantially. A big step backward from the instant loads we've grown accustomed to with next-gen systems.

While I agree that Xbox isn't going to go anywhere, they'll keep making hardware. I do believe that we will learn that their largest games are going to go multiplatform, Yes, I am saying that I do expect to see the likes of Halo on the PS5 and even the Switch 2 in time.

Edit: watching the podcast now, it will be 4 yet-to-be revealed titles that Phil says will make sense. It's all but confirmed that Hi Fi Rush is coming to Switch, I'm guessing that is 1 of the 4 games. The games will be revealed on the terms of the teams releasing them, so likely in locations like Directs.

Still, I could see the likes of The Master Chief Collection receiving a multiplatform release all the same.
