Will Facebook apps and 10 second phone apps kill the video game industry?

I assume you're referring to console games, because technically apps are video games too. But there is no chance of that happening. The online multiplayer is why many people play console games, and drastically increases play time. I, myself, have played the same game for over a year now and have clocked in 100+ hours. Not to mention console games (and other PC games like WoW) go much more in depth, and are actually getting bigger.
