I can't see there being any major growth without major innovations as well, and anything dedicated isn't probably going to be a breakthrough. I answered augmented reality, but it's not necessarily the whole truth either. Everything will become more connected everywhere, and augmented reality is one potential side of that. However, it's not the whole thing. Everything becoming more and more connected and games are no exception, and I don't think the situation is going to change. Instead, games will adapt to the new situation. Of course in short term, there will be other things.
Unlike many others here, I don't think VR is ever going to be a huge thing in gaming. It might eventually become big, but it's expensive and clumsy, which ought to restrict its appeal. It requires dedicated hardware, which limits your ability to take it with you. It also prevents you from seeing what's around you, seriously limits its usage. It also makes controlling games more difficult because you can't see what you're controlling the game with. A major innovation could solve these problems, but as it is, VR isn't an ideal solution for gaming. It could have important use cases outside gaming though.
