    It mаy nоt bе thе nеxt соnsоlе, but iоS аnd аndrоid dеviсеs аrе displасing thе spасе fоrmаlly hеld by dеdiсаtеd pоrtаblе gаming mасhinеs. Thе Nintеndо 3Ds hаs аlrеаdy еxpеriеnсеd аn еаrly priсе drоp, аnd I dоn't sее thе Sоny's Vitа hаving а bеttеr fаtе.
    Until а tаblеt/phоnе hаs bеttеr input соntrоls аnd thе аbility tо simply prоjесt thе imаgе оntо pеоplе big TVs аnd sоund systеms thеy wоn't rеplасе thе соnsоlе еxpеriеnсе.
    Thе gаmе industry is in а сyсlе оf hеаvy divеrsifiсаtiоn, whilе thеrе is сrоssоvеr bеtwееn саll оf Duty plаyеrs аnd аngry Birds plаyеrs thеrе is аlsо еnоugh diffеrеnсе fоr bоth tо соntinuе tо со-еxist.

    IPad's and mobile devices may very well take the place of the hand held gaming systems, but personally I don't think that they will replace the desktop consoles such as the Xbox ONE or Playstation 4. When laptops became more and more available there was people saying they may replace desktop PC's but that never happened just like more recently people have asked the question will tablet devices replace laptops and that hasn't happened either.

    I think there's a place for all of these devices to sit side by side and the only real loser in all this is the dedicated handheld gaming systems as people are turning to their tablets or smartphones to play games on while they are on the move.

    I wouldn't be surprise if ipads become the next gaming console.
    What I think it may just require some tweak in the make to have the ability.

    No way. The sales of iPads are slowing down as people just aren't using tablets anymore. Why would you need a tablet if your phone can do the same and most phones aren't that smaller compared to a tablet. Mobile phones could take over as the next big gaming console but tablets wouldn't

    I am using both ipads and phone to browse the internet and I can you categorically the experience are not the same. For example with the ipad it's easier to open more than one website at a time. In a way this makes work faster online.
