I agree with you about the new gTLDs needing a lot of marketing to
succeed.
As for the aftermarket in com/net/org domains being nearly dead: This
is absolutely NOT my experience. In fact I get much more queries about
domains than before, exactly since the online news started to shout it
was dead. For the record: not for names supposedly worth millions.
Good names in the range of $200 and over. They go like hotdogs here. I
might be too cheap :-)
The dying may be true perhaps for the number of new domains bought by
speculators. You are in a better position to see figures that give an
indication about that.
