Not that it necesarily will if they do that...

Well, what else do people want besides a DVD player? Because like someone already mentioned, DVDs and DVD players are much more common now then they used to be and you can get one for under $50 now. So I don't think that's going to grab any extra buyers.

And having a DVD burner on a gaming console is just stupid. What would you burn?

it should have a built in death ray in case someone wins and rubs it in your face. The death ray will detect the excessive gloating and kill them,

If the other companies choose to include other things and exploit/mass market those other features besides the fact that their console is meant to PLAY GAMES, then I feel shame for any company who mass markets the secondary features besides the fact that it plays games. It's almost the way Americans purchase things. We don't care about the main point of a product, we want to know/have the extra things that come with the product. Me personally, I just want a game console that plays games. Don't try to sell me on the fact it can do 50 other things when all I want it to really do is play my damn games, not cook my dinner, walk the dog, play my porno, etc....

But back on topic. Everyone continue posting your ideas

I personally like the idea of wireless being the standard, as long as the controllers work from 30 feet or so and have long battery life. The console should have ONE small port on the side for recharging your controllers, and each controller will have a port on it to plug other controllers into to charge them as well, enableing you to charge multiple controllers at once, creating a chain effect of sorts. I think that would work. No more ugly controller ports.
