Nah, I've been hearing this same line since like 2009 where people claimed that the 7th gen was the last console generation and that in a few years consoles would be extinct and irrelevant; low and behold it's 2025 and consoles are thriving.

Those who claimed that are obviously Michael Pachter's "witnesses", so to speak.

Today, it's quite different.

Digital storefronts are undeniably hugely important, but I can't see dedicated hardware becoming irrelevant any time soon; this is one of those things like VR taking off that has been perpetually "5-10 years away" for the last 20 years or so.
