Of course not that would be the hight of stupidity, if anything you should buy all their console games to indicate it's worth them still making them. The market it will decide what they make if console gamers buy their games they will keep making them.

Also most iOS games are compatible with the last couple of generations of hardware.

If people buy their consoles games, they will be funding their iOS games.

What good console games have they made this gen that are memorable? Gears of War comes to mind. Can you think of anything else?
Maybe it's good they'll eventually stop making games for consoles. Not like they made that many good ones anyway anyway. 

No their engine licensing business could find all the games they want. Making games is a side business for Epic, they made Infinity Blade as a proof of concept for their engine on iOS for example. It just happened the game made $20 million off a production budget of $2 million meaning it made 10x as much as it cost to make. Which is why they are moving a lot of development resources into iOS games, especially as the seccond game was selling faster than the first. It's not Gears of War money but it was probably a lot more profitable than Bulletstorm or Shadow Complex. 

As long as consoles are a major part of the game industry they won't stop making console games. Because as they will need to show off their tech. 

As for their games being "good" that is subjective, but by the most objective mesurements the Gears of War series has constantly topped 5 million units with is amazing for any series never mind an exclusive series. All their games this gen have topped 80 on metacritic and they have 3 games with 90+ which is pretty impressive. They are in the top 3 indipendent developers this generation.
