Even current smart phones cannot do without 64bit anymore as they now have memory in excess of 4GB. Breaking through the 64bit memory barrier is highly unlikely to happen. 16 exa byte - that is 16 thousand terra byte. Maybe when normal person storage needs reach that high can you think about 128bit cpu for mainstream users.
I would not say it's going to happen any time soon. But it _will_ happen. Whether any normal human cares? Well, I doubt I'll be around by then to know.

I routinely run on a desktop with 64GB of RAM, and my server has 128 GB. But then, I'm only a SOHO.

Breaking the limitations of 32-bit was huge for me. But I can't see a need to go beyond 64-bit.
