Broadband Providers To Take Over The Video Game Industry?

If you're wondering when the next generation of video game consoles are expected to hit the market, you could be waiting a very long time.

He expects by that time, we won't have any boxes sitting under our high-def TV's as most technologies will be virtualized by our web providers.

It only makes sense that our content providers provide us with low-cost delivery video game content as well.
