Most games from the other generation will still be highly playable even after the support for them dies. So saying they will be worthless is a pretty inflammatory statement. The worst thing I can see happening with some games that do not depend on online play is patches not being available that fix game breaking bugs.

With consoles, I feel like they are a dying breed. As much as I do love consoles, sadly they are slowly dying off. A lot of things now of days is either going on PC or on Mobile. With how the world is most people are on the go a lot. so things like smartphones, psp's, NDS's and such are more used. While PC's are all over the place and they are used for everything and easy enough to access one. While console you have to buy it and setup it up in your house and make more time for it than the other two. Like some jobs, you can take a break or have lunch and play a game on a computer at work, or your own laptop or smart phone or such. You don't have an easy time to play a console. Of course, you can try to make time to play on a console but when you add in everything else in someone's everyday life it could be a lot harder to make time for a console vs the rest. On top of the price for games and such too. I rather not see console die but I feel like it's heading there.

I do not see consoles dying off at all.

I don't play on PC because my PC (for the most part) is for work. I don't put games on my computers because I like to keep work and gaming separate. So I very much prefer console gaming.

I know I have Steam account and Stealth Inc. 2 on my old laptop: I never even booted it up though :P

Playing games on a phone sucks. Consoles are so much better.

Yeah, PCs are good for that, too. But a lot of people (me included), don't like gaming on a PC. I personally don't like the keyboard/mouse set-up, I much prefer a controller. And I don't like worrying about compatibility, patches, 3d cards, etc. A console is just pop in and go.
