What will gaming be like 20 years from now?

Simple question. Will virtual reality be the primary way to play, or will we be gaming on 8K TVs? Which console manufacturers will still be around? Will physical media continue to exist? Will filthy mobile casuals overrun the business and kill off console gaming? 

Will VGChartz still exist?

Feel free to bump this in 20 years.

I think VR is going to win the day and not just for games, but life in general. Think about porn. Instead of watching two girls go at it on a couch, you will be able to be a foot away, IN THE ROOM that the scene was shot. You can apply that to just about anything as well. Want to visit Rome but don't have the money? Strap on the VR and bam, you're walking the streets of Italy. 

People are going to use VR to drop out of life much in the same way they do drugs, or drink on the weekends. 

You don't need all that, just some electric pulses directly into your pleasure center

After thought control, neural feedback, direct stimulation of the brain.
