I have no interest in .xxx, I am just saying. Gonna be sad / mad soon.

I have to say tubes are a completely different scenario as their effect on our biz was because of a consumer driven market shift. The customers went there so we had to, much like galleries. I could be wrong but I see .xxx going the way of so many other TLDs where they exist and suceed but are always second tier to .coms.
.com = kleenex
.anything else =store brand
both will sell to someone and in some cases both will be made by kleenex and in some the strength of the brand will do fine without it.
The biggest threat to .coms in my opinion is the overall threat that f-commerce (facebook/social) brings verses e-commerce (the web). Look around now, you login into FB's backend and jump right to other services'/products' back-ends' seamlessly thus circumventing their .coms all together.
My plan (not with adult necessarily) is to dev your f-commerce and e-commerce channels to be functional and brand identical. That way when .com and .everything goes away as it will one day you are one step ahead and ready for the next thing.
