The demise of PC games has been talked about at least since the PS one. I don't thinks it's going to happen for a while. The delivery mechanism on the PC side feel much better than on other platform (I'm completely bias, I even read PC Gamer every month). I do feel that web games have a chance to bring PC gaming to more platform than just Windows. Unity/WebGL/Flash are the future for a lot of genres, AAA titles will still need closer hardware access for sure. I like what sony attempted with the xperia play an android phone with a game pad but, it's sony(who are now tarnished) and it's going to be a niche product so forget good games. On the mobile and iDevices side, I feel their biggest draw back right now is the input mechanism. Touch is great for a lot of things but in gaming it feels a little weird to me in a lot of genres. As for the console, well, until now the big 2(sony, microsoft) haven't seen a need to spend money on a bigger console. They are getting to the end but it's not really a longer cycle than the last one looking at this timeline: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_video_game_console_releases_in_North_America http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_video_game_console_... Nintendo on the other side has saturated the market for the Wii and needs a new hit or they will die.
