Controllers for standard gaming consoles I think basically have peaked. There needed to be a more accessible option for computing and gaming and multitouch on the iPhone basically took care of that and is a new computing interface standard.
I think the next real big leaps are not in traditional screen-based gaming but in Virtual Reality. That's where there is going to be tremendous growth in the next 20-30 years, things like haptic gloves that give sensatory feedback, maybe even body suits, walk pads/treadmill type multidirectional devices, etc. etc. etc.
Traditional screen based gaming is like the automobile, you can make a car that doesn't use a steering wheel, but really does anyone even want that.
