nord,
like I said, the ps1 and ps2 were just steps.
Do you remember when Ken Kutaragi said he had like 7 generations of PS planned out already?
They've been on this from day one.
Sure they ended up disrupting other things as well, but I didn't want to create a Malstrom-length article either.
And console games never synced up with pc games until the ps1/n64 generation. Both were capable of giving very similar graphics and ability whereas previously, console games were very limited.

To summarise: you make some good points, but I could eventually show how my OP is just a simplified version of what you said. I just didn't want any tl;drs

If they had 7 generations already planned, maybe it's time to replan given the business failure of the PS3.

As for your OP:

• motion/touch control
• Digital Distribution
• streaming video
• P2P
• Social networking
• internet use
• Reusable/portable media
• Huge harddrives

Most (or all) of those are already being used or announced. So it's a pretty obvious prediction.

I also agree with nordlead in not seeing the relationship with disrupting the PC market.
