Already mobile phone games are slaughtering traditional portable consoles. With widespread adoption of HTML5 and streaming services like OnLive, I can definitely see a world that no longer needs a dedicated game console.

That is what I am worried about too, so I am holding back on buying a PS3 despite owning both the Chou Jigen games.
The problem with consoles is that they aren't upgradable, so unless someone develops a game console with a flexible hardware architecture, the console market will rewind into a crash. Of course, they are so scared about "hacking" to do something like that......don't they ever ask the nerds why they would buy games like Nendroid Generation despite its iso being widely available on the net for the PSP?
Heck I still haven't opened my Key 10th Anniversary boxset from 4 years ago. There is too much emotional value to use anything inside.
