In 2035 the PS7 will have....

[Swagnificent]

These are conservative estimates based purely on Moore's law. If we keep our trajectory, a $400 machine in 22 short years will have.......

256 Terabytes of RAM (32,000 x more powerful than PS4)
1.02 Petaflops GPU (1,000 x more powerful than PS4)

Just for comparisons sake. The supercomputers that were used to render Avatar used 104 terabytes of RAM and the 40,000 processors that were doing combined 1 petaflop (this is my estimate, it could be more/less).

All this means that in 22 short years a mid-range gaming laptop will be able to render worlds as realistic as Avatar IN REAL TIME.

GTA 10 will be as immersive and realistic as the Matrix.

The real question is how will game studios be able to afford making games that take advantage of all that power.

but some sort of hardware will be around that delivers that amount of computing power at that price

budgets will necessarily have to increase...but so will profits

once video games becomes as real as real life....they will become the #1 form of entertainment and will consume everything else

why watch a movie when you can be in the movie yourself?

Do you know why GTA Is such a successful franchise? Because the last few entries have pushed boundaries as far as immersion goes

Once the technology is there, all games will have an incredible level of immersion. GTA level success will be the standard. Everyone will play games.

I truly believe that most people will spend most of their time playing video games in 20 years. It will be as immersive an experience as Neo jacking into the Matrix. I don't know why anyone wouldn't wanna experience that. Imagine becoming someone else in another world and doing whatever you wanted. That would be priceless IMO.
