Game consoles, like Ouya, aren't going anywhere, Seamus Blackley says.

Game consoles aren't dying anytime soon, the original Xbox's co-creator claims.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz in an interview published yesterday, former Microsoft employee and current head of mobile startup Innovative Leisure, Seamus Blackley, says he's had enough of the "histrionic articles" suggesting the death of game consoles. Today's consumers, he says, still want the high-end experiences made available in console titles.
"You have to remember that people want to play console games because they want to have a super premium high-end experience -- it doesn't really have to do with anything else," Blackley told GameIndustry.biz in the interview. "When you say, 'Do you still want console games?' - people aren't saying that they want a dedicated device hooked up to a television. What they're thinking is that they need to have a super premium entertainment experience in the living room. They still want that really badly."
