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. 

Yes, that's what I'm thinking too. Phones have already replaced cameras, mp3 players and gps systems. Ofcourse all those still exist, so likely consoles will continue too with a smaller audience. Phones still cost a lot more than a console though. So perhaps consoles will become kids toys again while M rated games migrate to mobile. GTA 7 on mobiles that can beam to tv as well will put sales through the roof. Maybe with a bluetooth joycon like controller that can snap to any phone to play on the move.
