  Ehhh, I hope that in the next generation (or the generation after that), we'll see neural feedback devices. They have done some testing on the PC, and have used it with UT III, with positive feedback (I think it was the GamesRadar crew?)....
  
  Not saying hand controls would be totally phased out, but rather, more like the Wii, it would be a primary option (at least when it is first introduced), with the secondary option being a 'classic' controller plugin. As far as resolution goes, games (Sony and MS anyhow) would likely start with 1080P+ level, as there WILL be TVs that have higher resolutions than that relatively soon (though I'm sure they'll still support SDTVs for some time)....
  
  Certainly would be a nice jump from what we have now.
  
  Eventually we'll get into the whole full immersion experience with VR, though that would probably be 25+ years from now....
  
  Just a theory on my part....

  How is it the Halfway Point when 2 out of the 3 consoles haven't even been out a full year yet?

  This article was good until he stated that the detail couldn't get any higher... Yeah i guess PC is going to stop still because games console are lacking the power, i mean in a year there is going to be PC games with graphics and hardware that make the PS3 and Xbox 360 look incredibly old school in comparison, PC is what drives these consoles without it graphics would not improve.
  
  I think there is a rule of thumb that hardware gets two times more powerful every 12 months, so if the current PC hardware gets twice as powerful by middle 2009 and we still have i would say until 2011 for the next consoles, there is going to be a massive leap... Crysis is a massive leap for gaming and that came out half way into the PS3's first year, the PS3 couldn't run Crysis maxed out, so in 3 years from now gaming could get absolutely photo realistic, i am sure that is the next leap.

  Soo... He's imaganing what console will be next?
  A Touch Virtual World thats what I think.
  
  The Buttons are in the air visable... Look down a the floor... Its not a floor.... Its a warp! Press a button and you get sucked down..... Your on the other side of the univirse! Theres Pokemon!
  
  Basically, the pictures are projected onto air somehow and of coarse, the floor and everything to, and detecters detect your movement and when you put your hand through a part of the screen, lasers may pick it up, and then do something else. And the projecter is soo powerful, you cannot see through the invisable wall....
  
  It mabie next to the line of impossible to make, and take a few decades to make, using just a few billions of pounds, along with 6 billion more... *cough*
  
  So who likes my idea? Thumbs up if you doo.....

  Benedict you have just killed the gaming industry because Nintendo are going to read that, make it and then use it to tell us we are fat and have no intelligence, with Nintendo Brain Training Projector and Nintendo WiiFit World Edition, but this time using the projection it can read your mind and tell you how unintelligent you are before you answer a series of menial and none important questions, that are meant to make you smarter but don't actually work, the WiiFit World Edition will just laugh and ridicule you like a series of cruel school children until you turn Anorexic and its job is done, this smart console will release next year. Nintendo WiiProject(we project) only $59.99 games and controllers not included, games sold at $200 dollars each and the series of 600 peripherals priced at $80 each...

  The question is, can they go anywhere except better graphics?
  
  I mean, sure graphics is a big part, but will it introduce anything new?
