The real problem with innovation is coming up with a way it can be used in your own home, without complicated setups.
The VR stuff is a great idea, but try doing that in your home and you'll definitely be breaking things.
I think Nintendo has the right idea with the Wiifit, but they need to capitalize on it. I could easily see half a dozen ways to use it right away. Sit on it for sledding, stand for surfing or running, add a DDR frame to it for actually playing DDR games, sit in a chair with your feet on the board for use as the pedals in a racing game.

The next innovation I see will be the Nunchuck Heart Monitor, so that when you hold the thing, it'll measure your pulse. This will benefit the Wii fitness stuff, but can also be used in horror and fighting games so that your pulse rate affects the speed and mood of the game.

You can easily do VR without breaking things, you just sit on your couch. Better yet, stand on a Wii balance board.

I don't know if VR will happen in 2010 or 2011, but I sure hope it does.
