To be very clear again, I don't expect the above to become a reality until a decade at the earliest, when the people that have good internet speed is big enough to make this a better option and completely ditch out the hardware counterpart.

I agree to an extent. I wanted to deny it years ago, but the evidence is so abundant and can see myself with younger (10 years and under) relatives all want phones and tablets and have no interest in consoles or handhelds. The question as how these kids develop as they get older. Will they bring this along with them a tablets and phones become what teenagers and then 20s play or will they leave these platforms once they get older? Honestly have no idea, but I feel old seeing something I am passionate about be so detatched from the popular trends of younger generation. Is odd what people spend on the device and then place so low value on the content with free to a dollar being common pricing on these games.

While this is mostly anecdotal, I see people from literally all ages playing with their smartphones on the bus to work. And most are teenagers and people in the 20s. So I ask myself, if these games have become so popular with even people this age, why would younger audience follow a different path? by the time they get to that age they will already be indoctrinated into playing these games.
But like I say, this is anecdotal more than anything else, because I don't know if that teenager thats playing Candy Crush on the bus has a PS3 which he uses everyday.
Also that comic is hilarious
