forgive me for grammar and spelling errors please, i just put in a long day of work, on not a lot of sleep.
when consoles have keyboards and mice on a regular basis, and develop an internet browser function... they will be more or less the same as my gaming pc. i use it to play games, check four websites on a regular basis, and occasionally use other websites and search engines as a reference tool.
it seems pretty unreasonable for developers to start putting out games that don't have support for a keyboard and mouse, especially with the popularity of RTS games... the one type where PC's have a unique edge. sure, the different consoles will be competing with each other... but it seems like more money could be made by converting a large amount of PC users, with cheaper hardware, and promises of new games.
i'm relatively young... but i've been a PC gamer since the beginning. i prefer a mouse and keyboard... but when i'm over at a friends house... i can certainly enjoy myself playing some games with a gamepad. I mean, sure PC's provide you with the capability to plug in a controller on a FEW titles... but if consoles were to provide you with the ability to plug in a mouse and keyboard on MOST GAMES? and give you the hardware for... lets be generous at this point and say... $700 or $800...
i'm sure you can see where i'm going with this....
eventually i can see consoles even allowing you to install your games on them, so rather than performing a reset and switching out the cd, you can simply bring up a side menu and quickly change from game to game. i mean really... what else could they be aiming at, by adding larger and larger hard drive spaces?
The main reason i haven't bought a console since the NES is that... i have no use for a television... i don't watch any television programs... ergo, i don't have a television. with the release DVDs i can now watch any film's that happen to snare my interest on my computer. if i'm feeling ambitious i can even plug in the projector.
i don't see it so much as pc gaming declining... but more so, consoles will be turning into what pc's are today.
hell, i could even plug it into a monitor instead of the television, put it in the office, and it would be EXACTLY like a PC.
