Is -insert old platform- gaming dead?

I just saw this headline:


How Online Will Kill Console Gaming


And I had to sigh inwardly. How long have we heard some derivation of this statement? Every few years some genius editor from the gaming industry has to ejaculate the literary spooge "Is PC gaming DEAD?!" 
We've been listening to them say that for well over ten years now, and yet, people are still playing PC games. People still build monster rigs, people still play LAN games, people still play Flash games on crappy old computers.
If PC gaming died back when they first started predicting its demise, then PC gaming would be this moldy, rotting corpse wandering around in the dark, eating your brains while you stared blindly into the soft glow of your LCD.


Wait, that actually sounds like PC gaming.

I just need to add a computer eating his brains...
