Arcades in their current form will fade away into obscurity. People stopped going, so developers stopped making games, so more people stopped going, so more developers stopped making games, etc.
There's a chance that gaming lounges can become a new age arcade scene or something along those lines, but the days of arcade machines ruling a massive space are basically over, except in Japan of course. That makes Onyxmeth a very sad puppy. Thank god Microsoft tries to fill the void with Xbox Live Arcade.
