Where can i get a Laptop with 16GB RAM 4TB Harddrive and quadcore processor with 3 SLI cards? that can run all days all year without problems with overheating... no where?
Think about that statement.
Sure, desktops can run such a configuration. However, how many people in the world have such a system right now?
In fact, the question we should be asking is how many people in the world NEED (please differentiate need and want, a system to run games decently is a need, while triple SLI and watercooling is a want) performance that cannot be supplied by laptops today?
Sure, that would include most gamers, but in the wider picture, we gamers don't make up a huge slice of the computing pie. Unfortunately for us, this generally does mean (even though we definitely don't want to admit it) that we need would become irrelevent to computer manufacturers.
Few businesses cater to niche markets, and if the need for high-end computing becomes a niche, desktops become a niche market, and like all niche markets, prices are going to soar, and like I've mentioned previously, this just causes a chain reaction away from desktop computing.
Which isn't really a disaster, since game-producers would just adapt to the growing crowd of laptop gamers.
Just like how game-producers have to adapt to the fact that console gamers CANNOT upgrade their consoles, and therefore produce games which have to work brilliantly on 3-4 year old hardware.
