Well back on topic, I agree with the statement that

"A dedicated game console is dead".

But I don't think that "consoles" in the sense of "hardware manufactured by a company that doesn't change over the lifetime of the device with a closed ecosystem" are dead.

I will agree that for developers, it's a real PITA to have so many different platforms. I mean Netflix has to work in browser, on iOS, on Android, on PS3, 360, Wii, etc. etc. It's a real pain, but humans are humans, I don't think there will ever be 1 solid standard for chip architectures or OS.
