if you think about it, before TVs had computers integrated it made sense to have a console since you could use it to make your TV "smart", this was before the development of the Roku type computers. Heck to this day my ps4 is purely a netflix/youtube client for my dumb TV, prob i should just dump the ps4 since it uses way more electricity than a simple roku.

Nowadays it makes zero sense to have a console when you could have a "gaming" computer/server to stream to your TV.

building on this, what is the next development?

A complete transition to videogame streaming services? With each company having their own platform (playstation service, nintendo service, xbox, etc..) With a monthly subscription + hourly rate? Seems like the logical development to me, probably the only reason it hasnt yet ocurred is latency but that is slowly improving.
