We are possibly looking at a place where the industry will stop, and try to figure out how to stop the arms race going on, and work to be able to get costs down, while getting people to buy more. It is possible we look at the next generation of consoles to push out beyond 2012, and even longer, as the makers decide they better not do anything to cause them to have to do an arms race. And they will wait until more people get high def TVs, and go from there. And they will focus on driving down costs.
Developers will end up trying to get franchises established and do stuff like is done with GTA4, and other downloadable content. Expect massive multiplayer to be looked at, preferably ad driven massive multiplayer.
