Still some people cannot believe the PS3 can be an enjoyable system WITH HD. I think people don't understand that an HD console, like the PS3, can produce ANYTHING the Wii can produce. The opposite isn't true. For instance, the bowling game in Wii Sports and High Velocity Bowling on the PS3 both use motion controls. They are both open to the entire family. Only the PS3 bowling game covers a wider range on people (people that LOVE graphics and audio AND those that have a SDTV with mono audio). It's just that a lot of people don't know about that on the PS3, are just spellbound by the Wii fad, and/or just caught up with the extra money for the system. Actually, the PS3 has a lot more potential in interactivity games than the Wii. There are interactive games on the PS3 that are out of the reach of the Wii's capabilities. I expect this to be tapped into more as time goes on. I expect the nation to come around as the price falls in the future. Trials of Topoq, Operation Creature Feature, etc. to find more exposure with families later on. I, also, expect EyePet to stimulate interest as well in the fall of this year. I agree with the spirit of the GDC presentation in the OP. The general public is about general access to games. However, I don't agree that this is something that can't be carried out with much better tech. A high-tech product is a LOT more versatile and generally has a longer lifespan.
