Streaming will become more popular as fiber optic or similar ultra high speed internet gains adoption over the next decade.

I think eventually though, the chips in smartphones will become so powerful that they'll be able to stream high end graphics to any nearby display and all you'll need is a Bluetooth controller to play, many people will stop buying dedicated home consoles when that happens.

You don't need powerful chips to stream games. Just meh specs and good wifi.

What I mean is the average smartphone will be able to process visuals on par with the PS4 or better fairly easily at some point, which is a level of visual fidelity that's "good enough" for most people, I think they will simply just run games off their phone. That and most displays in the future will be smart displays capable of receiving a wireless signal from a phone. You'll just walk into any room and be able to beam whatever game you want to play onto whatever display happens to be nearby. Pick up a Bluetooth controller and play.
