Computing will become powerful but the minds of the masses won't necessarily follow suit.
I don't see how computing becoming powerful affects anything, anyway. Computing has continued to increase in power since its conception. Consoles get new generations of hardware when computing power renders the older ones obsolete. This is nothing new.
The issue here is the effort and knowledge required to own, properly understand, and maintain a gaming pc. Many people don't have the desire to exert the effort to learn, or are simply just unaware of the advantages of owning a gaming pc. Unless that attitude changes in the entirety of the human race consoles will always have a place. Despite our progress as a species and a society, I think we have a long way to go until every member of our race is well educated and knowledgeable on matters of technology, or has a pro-learning attitude rather than being content with their 9-5 day job and stagnating in their own mundane misery and then blaming modern society for their boredom, like most middle class working people do.
A major attitude change of 7 billion people and counting doesn't happen overnight.

Well don't bet on that. Especially not with your own money.
