If that's the case, then I'd say it's fairly safe to assume that console gaming will remain safe for quite a while to come then.
Actually though, if it wasn't for Nintendo, I'd say your predictions for the console to PC would be almost inevitable, rather than impossible
This makes me wonder about another future event to consider, which would be Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata finally retiring or even possibly dying. I mean eventually they will have to, but there really are few individuals that have managed to maintain such a consistent level of innovation and familiarity that is needed to keep the Video Game industry stable.
Just look at what happened to Disney after Walt Disney died. It fell a long way from what it used to be. Even the muppets took a huge blow when Jim Henson died.
If Shigeru Miyamoto was no longer working in the gaming industry, would Mario, Zelda, and many other iconic game series die with him? Would the mantle be taken up by a new developer, and if so, would they be able to do it successfully?
it is very much my opinion that nintendo is one of the biggest reasons keeping console gaming viable vs PC gaming. If nintendo were to lose Miyamoto and/or Iwata, would it remain a company capable of doing that?
