Domain names are not quite as big a business as they were in the past, as more people use different domain name extensions and social networks become a larger share of the web. Google also seems to be giving less weight to exact match domain names so www.mykeywordmatch.com is less likely to effortlessly rank #1 as it had in the past.
However quality domains will always be valuable, and will forever be a part of the digital real estate landscape.
