Here’s a not too unrealistic hypothetical future scenario: Disney releases their own gaming console with Kingdom Hearts 5 as a timed exclusive.

I'll still be playing Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda NES games once a year.
AI is by far the biggest wildcard here. If AGI happens within the next 5 years or so then not just gaming but the world as a whole will change more in just a few years then it ever has in that time span. The major uncertainty surrounding just how quickly that technology will keep advancing in the coming years makes predicting things in the 2030's a big challenge.

10 years isn't a lot of time at all.
We'll get more and more remakes as the game industry runs out of ideas (or just not willing to risk it) just like the movie industry. All the great games from your youth will be manhandled by AI remakes that manage to look and run worse than the original.
Consoles will still exist, VR might get a bit bigger as DFR becomes part of SDKs and makes it easier to match flat games. But not much as 10 years is not enough to make a break through in lightweight affordable headsets that solve the vergence-accommodation conflict. Plus they'll still need to be tethered as resolution increases demand ever higher bandwidths. Next VR headsets will need HDMI 2.2 or processing onboard to unpack DFR compressed data streams.
Proper HDR will still be niche as it doesn't seem any developers can be bothered to support it properly.
Game streaming will introduce add break supported tiers while subscription prices keep climbing.


Everything will be digital. You will own nothing.
Everything will be a rental service.
