The future of gaming as a whole? I doubt it, but acknowledge the possibility.

My personal gaming future? Absolutely. Handhelds already dominate most of that. Even putting aside the convenience, fewer and fewer games are being released on consoles that I want to play. I have more games for my DS than I do for my other systems combined, and I play them more frequently. Console RPGs seem to be getting worse and worse, while handheld ones keep getting better and better (and RPGs are far and away my favorite genre).

This is part of why I love the poor graphics of the DS. It gives developers an excuse to avoid making the shiniest graphics possible. And the result is that we get DQIX instead of FFXIII.
