I don't think people would necessarily leave their wives for a robot but statistically, most marriages fail and after the very, very expensive failure, most men come back on the market in their 50s, with their finances capped by half and usually very bitter.

in this case, i could see them going full robot, since presumably the robot could also cook and do all kinds of stuff. 

if they do ever make super realistic ones, i bet they will have a subscription model too, have to lease one! black mirror should really do an episode on this lol

Do you think ultra realistic sex robots will KO the human race?

I think it will substantially effect the birth rate, some humans still hunt, but a burger is just easier. Also prices will eventually get cheaper and a loan to get an AI sex bot will still be cheaper than a wife. 

I'm personally happily married, and wouldn't leave my wife for a robot, but I'm positive that people will absolutely take the easy path if available.
