It's really hard to say at this point.
I honestly think that consoles like Playstation and Xbox are going to die out sooner or later because they've been having a hard time struggling with actual console sales. Sure Microsoft has Xbox live to keep itself going but that's really just it. Nintendo is still going to strive on consoles because like it or not nintendo knows what the hell they're doing when it comes to making a console and actually selling it to the market.
Let's not forget that despite the Wii wasn't really nintendo's best console it still managed to strive with big hits like Mario, Zelda, and Smash Bros. That and it was really innovative.
PC gaming is going to strive for quite a long time because it pretty much has a huge array of games at it's disposal despite what most people believe. It's not convenient because of how much it can cost, but given that a computer or even now a Mac can do quite alot.
Honestly that kind of feels like an unfair comparison.
Bowser actually felt pretty fucking scary in Super Mario World given his appearance and the fact he was riding a flying car that looks like a clown's head. Honestly I felt like I was looking at a monster when I first saw him when I was about 3 or 4.
His NES appearances were kind of, well limited. But on the SNES he actually felt like he wanted to even kill me throwing those mecha koopas and making those balls crash on you. Then after 4 hits he tries to smash down on you with an angry clown car.
I can agree with you how goofy bowser looked in Super Mario 64 though, but lets bear in mind the console's limitations. If the 64 was more powerful I guarantee he would look pretty freaky. That didn't even happen until Luigi's Mansion mind you (Even though, it was technically King Boo in some reanimated corpse like bowser, you have to admit he was pretty scary in that game.)

His boss battles in Galaxy feel like Bowser wants to kill me. In Mario 64 it just sort of seemed random. He'd shoot some fire over here, run over there. For the most part he was sluggish and easily tricked.
