I don't understand why people don't agree with the OP, but that is where the entire industry is headed.
Phones / tablets get more popular and more powerful every year. Streaming is getting better and better as internet speeds improve. My guess is that within 10 years, you will no longer be buying a console. You will either be buying games on your phone, or running an app that streams the games from some server in the cloud.
My proof of this? First, mobile gaming is growing at a crazy pace, and most if not all publishers already have mobile games. Publishers follow the money. If there is more money to be made on phones / tablets, that is where they will invest their time / money.
Second, Activision released Skylanders Trap Team for tablets (iOS / Android) this year. It is the same casual game as on consoles (with graphics comparable to PS3 / 360 on higher end tablets). It can be played with an included controller, or with touch screen controls. You can AirPlay to your TV when at home, or play on your tablet when you are out. I am sure this is not going to be the last console game to get this treatment...
