my opinion:
- well the "PC" itself becomes obsolete for gaming, because its ridiculous to support multiple hardware with 1 gaming API, you think it works? see OpenGL
The industry itself fights so much eachother that innovation from hardware to be used in software take YEARS, in whcih you pay the 2x till 4x ammount of money you get for the SAME software experience on a console
-just because many people like to "tinker" with their pcs it doenst mean its a good or desirable solution ( it isn't)
- if you want to do "work" you use a mac
- Computer (not PC) Hardware will be so flexible that you can run Linux on it and thus if you are a gamer which lsiten to some music surfs the internet , do some office. A "console" Computer will be perfectly fitting for you. Its fast does what you want for you and its way cheaper then a PC which runs the exact same games...
- so all the people who are today screaming ( and coding) for games on linux will instead run linux on their "gaming" Consoles to do the "rest" stuff which they do besides gaming with their computer
- emulation lives on or even more revives very strong since now the hardware to emulate becomes much cleaner ( including APIs) , the hardware manufacture ( sony, MC , nintendo.. ) which does a good mix of presenting his own producs while offering open hardware and API access will get a huge boost!
- projects like MAME will grow even more strong
