We all know PC gaming is going to take over the entire industry, so that's probably what Spielberg was saying.

No sir. Read it again. He's talking about streaming games through television sets, essentially cloud gaming.

Also your assumption is funny considering consoles and handhelds are both growing exponentially every generation. Got any proof there is decline there that will not also affect PC gaming?

 

And isn't that exactly what Onlive (among others) is trying to do?

PC has the biggest chance for a great future because everyone needs a PC, and PC gaming has already gone digital for the most part. And the fact that it is an open platform means if TV makers ever decide to do what Spielberg said they would probably choose PC-compatibility because it does not require to pay any royalties to console makers.
