I think that to a cretin extent PC gaming will die. But RTS games like Starcraft and Warcraft, IMO, will never do well on consoles. As for FPS games, they can be good on consoles, but usually the aiming part is somewhat difficult. What makes it worse is that the sensitivity is software based and it's programmed by the game designers. So it changes every game.
In the end, things will be how they are now. We might see shifting on the popularity, but it will stay even.

I can definitely see where the PC's and consoles might end up converging in the future, at least for more casual users. I'm sure PC games will exist for years and years to come either way.
