Not only they are still around, as those black vinyl discs are on the rise again.
I heard similar stories when VHS, Dvd, mobile phones, e-readers were launched........movie teathers, cable phones and printed books are still around, and it seems that they still will be for a long time.
I think the same goes to videogaming: it´s simply a different experience playing them on a mobile phone or PC, people who really love games will, at least for a long time, prefer to play them in a console, with joysticks or motion controls, simply because it´s a lot easier to use a console than a PC or cell phone to play.
One think that may change, but not in short-therms, is the end of physical media. I think we (someday) may reach a point where you´ll have the option to buy your games by download or physical media, and then only by download. But as happens with the vynil discs and printed books, it will be a dramatically change and some people may simply not engage it.
