Consoles are here to stay. They're just too easy to use. Consumers don't have to worry about whether or not their games will run on their systems and publishers don't have to worry about piracy... as much. Umm… Consoles are here to stay.

He also ignores the online community's of millions that are building on the current gen consoles. WTF does he think are going to happen to all of those people? Does he think that Live and Home will be dropped for the next gen? You could argue that the next gen will actually be even bigger than this one because of the same community argument he uses. For instance there will be far more reason for a Home using PS3 gamer to move to the PS4 than there was for him to move from PS2 to PS3 because he will have an online community moving with him just like the XBL gamers who moved from the Xbox to the 360.

What the kids play on their desktops can easily work on their laptops. On the other hand, console games have the benefit of dedication, where a PC in a home may be shared for multiple uses. Also DRM is on consoles, and hard to break. He makes a good point about the laptops. What the kids play on their desktops can easily work on their laptops.
