Even if the generation change ... What's about the previous CP/M generation? There still are some nice games of Interactive Fiction that could be played using vintage classic Personal Computer systems .
I guess it will stay like it is now or at least won't shrink so much. I made the experience, that 80ies hardware is very interesting for "new" young people interested in electronics and low-level programming in general. For them our machines are the best way to learn this stuff from scratch. At least in the CPC scene we have a lot of new blood, which is sometimes much more active than the old guys from the past.
We are of course in another situation now. Even in the 90ies the MSX was still an actual computer for several guys, which didn't like to switch to the PC etc. Now it's a pure retro machine, but a very nice one. So you can't compare the actual activity with this of the 90ies. But you may still compare it with the activity in 10 years, as the situation stays the same.
