The Thursday letters page is fed up of listening to Xbox and Sony’s bickering, as one reader asks about Dark Souls comic books.

The big switch Having Xbox Cloud Gaming on Meta Quest 2 (hate that new name) seems kind of pointless, given how bad those 2D virtual screens always are, but it is interesting how Microsoft is beginning to push it a little more every day. At some point they’re going to decide it’s time for the big push and then… is that it for consoles?

I’m not sure what will trigger the switch over. It should be broadband speeds, but companies are rarely that logical so it’ll probably be something fairly random and it’ll turn out to have been too early. Even so, it is going to happen and I’m curious whether it’ll be a slow fade in or something that will happen suddenly.

Will there just not be a PlayStation 6 and Xbox equivalent or will the PlayStation 7 end up being the step too far? The problem is that not only is broadband not fast enough everywhere but it’s inconsistent too. My home broadband cuts out for a second or two now and then, and if I’m out and about you have to constantly move between different Wi-Fi spots.

For that to disappear completely as a problem is going to take a big shift in technology and yet I’m constantly surprised by how willing people are to give up functionality in favour of convenience. I think Microsoft will be more than aware of this and we’ll see a major switch within the next five years and perhaps no next gen from them at all.Moriaty
