Perhaps. I think dedicated consoles from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft will be dead before cloud streaming is the big mainstream option. I think games will transition from dedicated hardware to digital distribution/cloud gaming only on computers, smartphones, and the like sooner than some people think.
I say that console gaming will die out in the mid to late 2030s. I know some people say that's radical, but that's where the industry is heading. We probably won't even get a new platform in the 2030s from a company at all, unless it's Switch 3 in 2030-2031.
