"People have already managed to distribute Linux games for the PS3 on DVD, if they would add Nintendo Wii controller support and some Wii-sports inspired games (hopefully SPE enhanced for fast 3D graphics), I will likely buy a standalone Wii controller for the PS3!
Wishful thinking: I think a PS3 or 4 would be powerful enough support VR headsets in amazing ways. IMO that could really revolutionize the gaming industry, we have already seen motion tracking used in Virtual Reality. The PS3 is able to render stored images as falling photographs is a nice novelty.
But imagine what could someday become possible with VR support. Imagine watching a Blu-Ray movie through a VR headset, with you appearing to be seated in a cinema watching the movie played on a large screen in the virtual distance. 
Imagine yourself driving Gran Turismo 6 with a steering wheel, looking from the car's interior, being able to quickly move your head to see who's driving next to you. 
If only I could be Sony's CTO.

Sony is now really going the road I wanted them to. I stated I wanted Sony to release something similar but more accurate and faster than the Wii-mote, a couple of years later we have Playstation Move, my main hardware spec criticism at launch was that the PS3 did not have PVR/DVR capabilities, a couple of years later they release PlayTV and Thorne and are moving further into this direction (although it still isn't perfect), now they seem to tackle my wishes for a virtual reality capable console.
Head tracking, stereoscopic 3D and hand tracking combined IMO provides so much potential I think most cannot even imagine at this point. But imagine playing a shooter while holding a Playstation Move scharpshooter:
Looking through the 3D headset you look at the gun in your hands, you see yourself holding and moving an "over the top" heavy gun, you look at your body and you see you're wearing cool army clothes, etc. Can you imagine the immersive gaming potentials with such a setting?
Can people now understand why I am so ethusiastic about the PS3 hardware potential since before the console launched as a tech enthusiast, this while preferring Philips over Sony and never having owned a PS2? In the past I have been often called a pure blinded Playstation fanboy, I think developers are now demonstrating me to be the tech enthusiastic hardcore gamer I claim to be and not just some random raving lunatic (most often claimed by Microsoft fans)!
Do people now agree?
