In all seriousness, alot of what was shown in that Milo demo was the future of gaming. NPCs with AI and facial and voice recognition that dynamically adapt and interact to you seems pretty innovative to me. With that said, that is all just software. Nintendo and Sony could both do it but it seems like MS might have bit of head start on that tech?

Also, I think they could actually do a virtual boy 2 and have something cool now.  There are already those headsets that put a huge screen in front of your eyes and look like headsets for watching movies on planes etc.  Something like that plugged into a portable game machine about as powerful as a Gamecube would be pretty amazing.

some of that stuff does look very interesting. I don't know if you've ever seen the 3d demonstration with the ps3, but it makes it look so that depending on how you look at the screen, the environment shifts to show a different point of view. So like, actually peeking around walls and stuff like that.

nintendo taught me what video games really were and how to play them.....thus they gave my life meaning.....

Nintendo kept me from seeing the outside world for years. All those Mario games and Tiny Toons game... sigh...

The shotgun analogy is that Nintendo doesn't hit the mark all the time, but when they do, it's a powerful as a shotgun blast.

& what exactly does Sony & MS sniper? Was it the shoulder buttons, analog sticks, triggers, motion control, or one of the two u didn't mention, rumble & wireless?

Definitely VR, as it can incorporate motion sensing into it. It would be the next logical step.

PS: ps1+ps2+ps3, 8 button controller, dual analog, PSP, Blu-ray, PSEYE (which will be even bigger in the future)

MS: Online gaming, DLC, xbox+360, add-on capabilities

My point is that Sony and MS haven't released really anything that tanked.
Nintendo has released at least 3. Unless somebody knows different.

While a sniped projectile may be more successful in hitting the target, it most likely has less impact. Sort of like if you shot a heat seeking missile at a target rather than dropping a bomb. The bomb is a lot more devastating if it hits, but it slightly more inaccurate. The metaphor makes sense. Maybe you just know something I don't?

I honestly think that many developers should be focusing a lot of effort towards revisiting old games, and not to convert them into "Mature" 3D games for the HD consoles ... While I would never suggest that companies should devote the majority of their resources to it, focusing development resources to the kinds of games that were popular in the 1980s and 1990s would probably give them a better understanding of why people actually enjoy playing videogames; and would probably provide a healthy stream of profit that many of these companies lack.
