I disagree with this view of the future.
The main problem beeing the controller issue. While we have touch controls, gamers wont embrace it. If it has a controller, average consumers wont embrace it.
If it has a seperate controller, it will no longer be portable and will be competing with your TV.
Another problem is the price of games. These platforms have had some sucess cause the games are all really cheap or free to play. Big budget productions cant be supported by these platforms. Do consumers still want those? If yes, consoles continue to exist. If not, consoles dont have further use. I prefer to think that given the sales numbers of GTA5 that people still want big productions. Consoles are here to stay.
What i do see is that there wont be anymore need to upgrade console in this or the next gen. They will be systems that stream over the internet, as much as i dislike it, i can see it happening.
