We've heard these predictions for years now. It started with Mobile phones, then things like Amazon Fire, Google TV etc. Are these things having an impact? Yes. Are consoles dead? Not really. There will always be a market for premium gaming. Whether it continues to be delivered by a dedicated console box or a cloud service remains to be seen but if you're worried about a generic TV box taking over gaming, fear not, there's too much money in premium gaming.
As for the site itself, Motley Fool is a well regarded investment site. Also, when they refer to 'dwindling console sales', of course this current generation is selling better than before, but consider this is 10 years on the sales should be far greater than they are - the sell-through market is much, much bigger 10 years on (compare iPhone sales from when they first launched to now). In that respect, console sales are not doing very well.
Having said that, I stand by my statement. Premium gaming is not going to be crushed by a company like Apple or Google anytime soon. They have no desire to enter that marketspace for a kickoff.
