Maybe, but therein lies the problem: not everyone wants more engaging entertainment than television.
The console systems have limitations on them that max out how "massively" their multiplayer experience can be, but that translates to better performance during the game.
Then again, the first "MMORPG" was on the Sega Saturn, really.
And yes, they get older and run the show, but that's not until they're no longer the youths of the country, by then there's new youths who are running the show. Think of the people in charge now: color television was the wave of the future and going to revolutionize the planet. The people coming into real power now? Free love was going to save humanity, man.
By the time those people get into power, the world's changed around them. By the time MMORPG players are "in charge", they'll be left in the dust by their children and grandchildren who wander around playing each other on the street with neural implants or something that have Bluetooth interfaces or something wild like that, and MMORPGs will be like Gunsmoke in the future, "you mean you got to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy."
