Well it would be nice if portable devices became powerful enough to play console platform software (current leading edge; not a PSP that plays last gen PS2 games at reduced resolution).
Technically, a gaming laptop is such a device, but it still carries all the downsides of PC gaming with it in addition to costing more for lower performance.
If anything, consoles will continue to exist as gaming platforms well into the future as inexpensive/cheap means of playing games with no hassle as long as it remains a profitable business to develop and maintain a proprietary hardware/software platform.
