I disagree... I think Online is more in the near future than VR gaming.

Next generation, Predict that every game that can have offline competition with more than 2 players will be online. The days of offline Fighting, Sports, FPSs, and even most action games will be done next generation.

Yes, I see all console makers and game developers going overboard with it.

Why? Because online games destroy the need for creating AI. It's a human brain vs a human brain.... no AI on earth can simulate it.

That's why I also predict a massive take-over of MMORPGs... Having human conflict online makes for it's own good story lines. Online gaming is the next logical step for console gaming... and probably the next big profitable thing.

I hope they don't go overboard with the MMORPG though... I hope Sega/EA/Square could work together to just make one big third party MMORPG game to connect all three systems... and have the other developers leave that genre alone.
