Regardless of your personal politics, one thing is for sure, the re-election of Barrack Obama to a second term in office will prove to be great for gamers. With the economy on the up-swing, whoever made their merry way into the White House was bound to take credit for the bounties and economic boom that is at this point inevitable in the U.S. economy. Ok, enough uppity talk. Here’s why we’re in for a great next four years (from a gaming perspective).

NEXT GEN CONSOLES DELAYED

I don’t know of anyone, including myself that is particularly excited about the next generation of consoles. Both Gamers (consumers) and Sony and Microsoft (producers) feel there is a lot more juice (money and gaming fun) that can be squeezed out of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. With that said, I can confidently announce that Obama’s re-election will in fact delay the release of the next generation of consoles and here’s why.

GAME INDUSTRY COFFERS AND GAMER POCKETS WILL FILL

The markets will stabilize bringing publishers and developers an influx of cash. The current blockbuster games out will add to the coffers of developers, publishers and Sony and Microsoft alike. From indie game makers to Rockstar, everyone will see an increase of cash from investors and consumers. In this case, cash will actually “buy” them time.

You see, it seems something new comes out every month. Pinterest, bugaloo, wtchmaklit… It’s all happening too fast, leaving the likes of Sony and Microsoft with their heads spinning. Why are their heads spinning? Because they want to make sure you can tweet, and “Like”, Pin, and Stumble, and whatever the hell else is invented by the time you’re done reading this article on their freshly minted machines of the future… Because make no mistake, that is what they will be. Blu-ray shmu-ray… No one gives a damn about that and Sony and Microsoft interns can work that technology in without breaking a sweat, including every other feature you may have already heard of.


PREDICTION

Don’t look for a next gen console until at least 2 years into Obama’s administration and 2 E3’s under each of their belts (Sony and Microsoft). And although not mentioned in this article, Nintendo and Nintendo fans stand to benefit the most. Gosh knows they need some benefits. Obamacare and entitlements to the rescue!!!

Next year is going to be huge for games which makes me think the next generation of consoles wont come out until 2014. Neither Obama nor Romney would be any better or worse than the other for the gaming industry. What is really going to affect next generation console development and games is production costs. They skyrocketed during the current 360/PS3 generation and many developers were forced to either go big or bust. Rumor has it that the PS4 is going to be built with an AMD APU and a lower powered dedicated GPU to power their system which would cut both hardware and software development costs and still provide a fair amount of power for developers to play around with.

Next gen is going to be very interesting, but Obama won't have anything to do with it.
