My prediction is mobile will take over the console space and push the systems into niche machines, like gaming rigs today.

100% agreement

pretty much what im thinking as well.

 the Dedicated PDA was such disrupted in such a manner, the dedicated game console's i think will not be going the way of the dodo, but will pretty much be in a capacity level of less than 200 million systems sold per/each system max ,for each system each company makes.

because in say a 10 year time, pretty much each company for the generation has sold mainly less than 200 million consoles of each of the system or systems they offer in a 10 year pd. of time  each generation . growth past that will take quite the time i think to atain more than that.

unlike that, Smartphones and Tablets have such a growth level of sales per quarter its just too large of a gap for consoles to be near that level of sales, let alone software sales. I mean each of the big three i doubt expect to never atain that level anyway, they were never expecting such number's but with a level of 70+ million units sold in 10 years time its not a bad number to be @ for game systems to be @ in an install base. esp. when games are @ $60.00 for a disc based, but can go for network distribution to be inline with smartphone game and application prices. So i think the big three are not really that worried about it because selling that many systems is not a bad thing at all, esp. when you have an install base of people you can target your software toward.
