On the one hand you have the growing trend of kids and teenagers investing heavily in tablets and smartphones, and would see that as their go to standard for gaming in the next 10 years.

One the other hand, the concept of the tv and a centralized hub of media and entertainment continues to persist regardless of emerging technology markets.

I can't help but think that a service like Onlive will play a significant role in this. People will just use Airplay, Smartglass, etc. to get their game on the TV.
