PC gaming will be dead by the end of this decade, if not halfway through, and pimple faced geeks worldwide will slit their wrist just like emo kids when their parents take away their myspace account. Then again, that means less than 5% of the total gaming market.........so really no loss there. I see consoles and mobile device gaming taking over, look at the popularity of a simple assed game like Angry Birds, developed by two guys in a few days work.........millions in profit from a $2.99 game.
You do realize people were claiming that exact same bs 20 years ago, right? It was bs then and it's still bs now. There is no such thing as a pure gaming console anymore. Each generation they become more and more like PC's. You've even admitted it by stating "mobile devices" instead of "hand-held consoles".
It's the consoles that are going the way of the dinosaur, and they have been ever since the PS2/Xbox era. The Gamecube was the last stand of the gaming console, and it lost. Now even the Wii is a multimedia device.
