OK. I agree.. in the ultra long term. Not so fast as to make the claim in the title.

There will be a convergence of devices because it makes sense - no one wants to carry two handheld devices. How that will come about I don't know, because it's hard to imagine Nintendo being bought out or else buying a handset company out.

So, I can see the present situation and the inevitable end, but no idea whatsoever how the route will happen. It's so hard and there are so many conflicting interests today that a few breakout games or one breakout company couldn't bring down the status quo by itself, as Nintendo was able to with the NES/Donkey Kong or Apple with the iPhone. So the process will take far longer than technology alone says it should be able to.
