Do these people even think shit through when they write this stuff? Wii is still selling very strong and Wii Motion + is just getting started.. I can't wait until 2011 when the console is still selling strong, just so all these fools can finally be proven wrong. Of course then they will be saying Wii will be doomed in 2012.. though at least by then they might actually be right! :)
Out of this list only 2, 3, & 4 make sense.
2 makes sense because faxes can easily be replaced by scan/e-mail, however in America a lot of businesses still use faxes daily. I don't know if they are used as much in Europe.
3 is highly probable. In America we already forced (or at least did, then delayed) all analogue transmissions off the air. For bandwidth reasons, it makes sense for cable companies to switch to digital.
4 could happen too, in Europe, due to poor phone infrastructure and a much stronger mobile phone market. However, the older generation will hold on to technology they are familiar with, which as always extends the life of a technology much longer than makes sense.
This LIST is endangered. It only exists to spark pointless conversation.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

So their list of "endangered technologies" next year includes the video format with the highest marketshare by far, the default controller for the video game console with the highest marketshare by far, and the most widely-used control scheme for millions upon millions of PCs around the world? This list is either an elaborate troll or the product of someone incredibly ignorant.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

DISAPPEAR FROM STOCK SHELVES????
Seriously? DISAPPEAR FROM STOCK SHELVES????
I mean, the idea that the Natal MIGHT somehow hurt traditional motion controllers after its release is one thing, but completely DISAPPEAR FROM STOCK SHELVES????
So apparently, when the Natal is released in late 2010, Sony and Nintendo must discontinue their current console generation, and release their own non-controller motion cameras , in a matter of weeks/months? Or the xbox 360/Natal will suddenly sell 100% market share, so the competitors will DISAPPEAR FROM STOCK SHELVES????
I feel dumber each time after writing that, but seriously, DISAPPEAR FROM FUCKING STOCK SHELVES????

This list is by Pixmania from an article from the London (UK) Daily Telegraph. I posted it because I thought it was so absurd. And from what I can tell, the "largest electronics retalier in Europe" does not appear too impressive (it is half the size of Game Group according to Wikipedia).
