Coolsvilleman,
new technology is being created everyday, sure a PS3 emulator sounds crazy now, but in 5 years its going to be possible.
the future of emulation won't die because of lack of computer power, but it will actually die because of the way future consoles will work.
for example, 3D television is being researched. That will in turn lead to 3D gaming consoles, and 3d virtual reality.
in the end, it will end up being too much of a challenge to emulate those technologies, and developers will not want to do it for free.
so i think in about 10 years emulation will die out, and it will only be used for retro/classic gaming...
which by then would be the ps3
