Yesterday Michael Pachter (Wedbush Morgan analyst), Seamus Blackley (Head of Games Department, CAA), and Dan Hsu (Former EIC, EGM) had a little chat at Gametrailers about the future of video game consoles. The bottom line: the next five years might be the end of game consoles as we know them.

And what did he see?

just released Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes on the iPod for $5... I was wondering if Nintendo would take the "necessary steps" with the DS and DLC. It's beyond me: the big N loses money constantly with "exclusive" releases like the Korg DS-10 which has been pirated in two days and downloaded by thousands already (there is a post about that and the DS piracy / homebrew scene at CDM).
