I think people have misread (or maybe I misread).
I think the question was which genres are on the verge of this extinction this generation (only). Point and Click & side scrolling action & platformers have been on the edge for at least 2 generations now.
I'd say good arcade sports titles (last good 2 ones were punchout and nba street homecourt and look at the time period between those games).
JRPG's (hopefully DQIX and FF13 can save us)
