I would say yeah, in a couple of generations the consoles will be a much cleaner development platform for games, which make them attractive to developers as well as consumers; consumers who no longer have to worry about updating or even understanding the hardware in their machine to play a game. The second group of consumers offer a much larger market anyway and will easily muscle out pc gamers, so through an economic lense, it does make sense gaming will move off the pc.
I am really for this though, because we all know the distance between what we all think of as pcs and consoles is razor thin, and with ingenuity on consumers part, accessing all freedoms that the console hardware provides is a definite possibility. Then its just another piece of hardware with good games, and maybe new glories for the hacking community.
