1. Handhelds to remain successful in the next several generations. I don't mind if their use becomes more broad, but I love handhelds that focus on games. Smartphones do very, very little to scratch that itch.
2. A greater release of titles for the 3 consoles of the generation. I haven't picked up a single one of them yet, and I'm honestly sad to say I have little desire to.
3. A new Paper Mario RPG... Pretty please?

1. Less deceptive marketing to sell a game, let a game sell itself
2. More emphasis on gameplay, less on graphics and cinematics
3. For people to realize art style can get you farther than graphical fidelity

"Eternal Darkness 2", "Metroid Prime 4", and... fewer generic FPSs.

DLC (including microtransactions) gone and good old expansion packs back
DRM gone
IDK, let's reserve this spot in case I come up with something.

All of these are connected, and much more essential to the long term health of the industry than "Microsoft leaving the game industry" or "Nintendo going third party," which, in reality, are self-destructive overreactions to problems with much more constructive solutions.

1) First, and most importantly, consumers hold publishers, developers, journalists, and themselves accountable for their actions. If you're sick of pre-order bonuses, stop preordering games. If a publisher mismanages its servers or releases a broken game, think twice before supporting that publisher with your money in the future.

2) Second, the establishment of a professional corps of video game critics. Video game journalism is hopelessly entangled, commercially and emotionally, with the industry it purports to review. Video game outlets urgently need trained writers and speakers who are free of influence from advertising money and committed to a code of journalistic integrity.

3) Third, fans need to grow up alongside the industry. Over the last 40 years video games have grown from a cult phenomenon to a significant piece of mainstream popular culture. I was proud to attend the premiere event at The Art of Video Games exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC. Nestled among contemporary and pop art, the exhibit signaled that video games could become a permanent part of a cultural landscape that includes the works of Chopin, Pinter, and Kurosawa. Yet, two years later, the industry continues to be plagued by an undercurrent of racism, homophobia, and misogyny, evidenced most recently by the ugly "GamerGate" movement.

Stop focusing on visuals/realism (realism is fine but when you waste budget on making a game that will look like crap next month when the next best realistic game released anyway then its just wasting money and time on nonsense)

Ignore mainstreamers

Release finished and polished games.

1. No more guns, dudebro, cool , hype and guns culture in gaming.
2. No reshases allowed legally in the world : No remasters unless game is more than 4 years old , no same game releasing annually.

3.Nintendo to be Big N once again. (Order: Ninty , MS then Sony.) - but all very close , within 10m range.

1. That there will be an actual SimCity 5, a game worthy of the name and a true, grander follow-up to SimCity 4.
2. That there will be a Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3, erasing TOR from existance and finishing the story.
3. Both those require EA to die.

3 (seriously). No more patches, updates, DLC, DRM, forced 'community'-nonsense, focus on online and all the other bad things the internet brought to gaming and actually release complete games for a change. Some don't even work at all nowadays! Where are the days that I could just pop in a game and play? I could finish 3 NES games in the time it takes before I can even start a godd*mn game on Steam, or finish yet another pointless update on my PS3 (followed of course by an update for the game in question).

Then the indusrty crashes and 2 years later a console appears with all the great games, amazing specs, low price and is made by none other than...
