Tablet gaming to overtake consoles, says EA executive

GAMING ON THE GO: Some hardware companies, like PlayStation, are looking at other ways to converge mobile and console.

Electronic Arts' chief financial officer envisions a tablet gaming scene whose hardware boasts more power and whose apps are more immersive than the console equivalents by 2018. 

"What gets us the most excited is the power, the computing power, of mobile devices and the speed at which that's growing," he said at the 2015 Technology, Internet & Media Conference (via GameSpot).
