Why? All ps3, xbox2 are going to be is more powerful consoles and better graphics then the previous versions. Why would the evolution be any different?

I'm sorry, but if you're expecting somthing thats going to change the way you think, and play video games then you're going to be dissapointed. VR is the next step in gaming and we arent there yet. other then that, its going to be more powerful consoles, better graphics displayed on your television untill that point is reached.

Well the DS is kinda different. Not saying that it's revolutionary, but it's something new.

I completely agree. I was at the nintendo.com forums (tremendous amounts of fanboys. Go there if you need a good laugh), and SEVERAL people there were commenting on how the DS is the most innovative thing ever.

I'm not really impressed by it. We've had touch screen stuff for years, and all nintendo did was incorporate it into their handheld system. It's more of a gimmick than an innovation. Although I must admit, it is a rather cool gimmick.

I agree that the next Nintendo console will just be faster with better graphics, and I believe that the "revolution" is definatly going to have something to do with the controller. I'm not sure what yet, but it's going to be tricked out. Maybe something like Tom Cruise had in Minority Report.

Also, everythink back to the Metroid Prime games. Do you remember how Samus controlled which weapons that she used? To you it was a mere push of the C-stick, but if you notice, each direction was labeled with a hand gesture. Depending on the formation of her fingers she would switch to a different weapon.

Maybe we will have something like that. Although I can see something like that having a steep learning curve.

Vampyr, you mean you could switch beams just by changing the way you hold your fingers.... sounds nice, but that's really nothing more than a gimmick... (although doing the Spiderman web-hand-thing is pretty cool. )

But if you could actually point on the screen with your hand, that would be so much more. Or tilt the controller to point. Stuff like that...
