Once cloud gaming really becomes a thing, I’m sure tv docks for phones will also quickly become a thing.  It shouldn’t be that big of a deal, people don’t have any issues with the switch. 

More likely to be app on TV that you just sync your controller. Isn't XCloud already going that direction?

Exactly why would you need a damn dock and a phone that sounds atrocious. Just have an app on a phone for smart TVs and some sort of Google cast for normal TVs. Xcloud should in the end be able to be supported on tablets, smart TVs, Laptops, PCs, everywhere. But I still doubt even Xbox will stop selling the box altogether. It might sell less than it does now and the price might become more premium than it is now because it'll be more of a rarer item with more power but that's it. There will always be some space for local gaming. Flip phones still exist and even brick phones still exist and wall clocks and pocket watches still exist.
