It looks like console gaming is making an unexpected shift with the sudden proliferation of super cheap (like $40) Android USB sticks on Amazon and other stores. They basically plug into your TV and give you a full Android computer, which outputs 1080p on your big screen. These sticks work with all sorts of keyboards, remotes, and game controllers.
Here's a picture of a Chinese device called MK808.
As these devices continue to get more powerful, it wouldn't surprise me if they slowly started to displace regular gaming consoles in the living room. With full Google Play support, they will play any sophisticated game that the hardware will handle, and Google Play multiplayer infrastructure will probably continue to improve exponentially too. I'm really rooting for these little guys to bring cheap, quality gaming to the masses.
