As long as there are gamers, there will be a market for games. Even if every major publisher/platform went to hell right now, there would be others rising up after them. Now especially it's easier than ever to make and distribute games, and for smaller projects to get funded through crowdsourcing. Even if the current bubble popped and there were several years where we just plain didn't have any big-budget games, we would have small ones, and those small ones would grow to fill the space again.
There are only two scenarios where gaming as we know it ceases to exist: The traditional gamer truly does die off and the idea of playing an electronic game goes the way of shadow puppetry, or the entire world goes so far down the shitter that literally no country has a free market. Neither of those are too likely.
