I really don't believe in this so called,"video game crash"......
It's just not possible.....
 

I don't think video games will go out of style.

I guess, once video games reach a photo realism level and the market gets sensitized to that, they really can't go any further in that direction. How can you make something more real? I suppose you could move towards VR and technologies like that...

Ultimately video games will have to have their novelty provided by the actual content of the game will have suffice. Hopefully writers and designers can come up with cool ideas to support the market.

One has to look at it this way. Sure video game came and became more popular than board games, but board games are still in existence and are a profitable market.
 

Video games of today are ALOT more than just graphically prettier.

Physics engines provide far more realistic cause and effect reactions. AI engines provide for far more realistic and adaptive interactions. Online play, MMORPGs, enlist social dimensions and strategy to gaming.

Downloadable content is finally starting to hit mainstream from the original MOD-ing community. This will eventually enlist the customer directly into game sharing and creation.

Finally, haptics are finally starting to hit the market. Motion sensing controllers may finally make gaming more than couch potato fodder.

Oh my, I guess video games have indeed gone stagnant. (I need a sarcasm font for that last statement, where o' where is my sarcasm font?)
 

People will create new types of games. There is life beyond the FPS.
