No. It's not a necessary evolution. The average non-gamer isn't going to pay $500 dollars for a gaming console if they're not going to play games. With a mobile phone, they had one anyway, so they naturally moved on to the next evolutionary stage.
Before that happens, we're going to see a $200 dedicated TV box with a voice command system. Perhaps from Microsoft, but maybe from Apple or Google. Whomever does that first will win the "smart TV box" war.
Personally, I don't give a rat's ass about talking to my television. I really, honestly do not. I don't even want cable and I'd much rather have a remote in my hand. In fact, I like Microsoft's Smart Glass thing a lot, lot more than voice commands.
