I can tell the future!

Or at least I can try; I am gonna answer a question my badass friend asked me, that being "what will video games be in the near future?" 
 
Well, here's my thoughts:  
 
Most home consoles are going to be striving for a solid framerate to run HD 3D. The resolution won't change much since 1080p is about where the human eye can make a distinction. Handhelds are going to be much more focused on digital distribution, but hopefully will still accept cartridges. Devices like the iPhone are going to start paying more mega 3rd parties like EA to make games for them. Nintendo is going to do something totally different than 3D with their next console at least 2 generations ahead. The focus will be off shooters, and more on experiences that will sell to broader audiences. Motion Controls will be all up in your face. 
 
Yeah, it actually doesn't sound that amazing. In fact, I don't really like the idea of motion controls becoming a standard. Controllers are already a perfect gateway to connecting the player's actions to the game. But it's rather inevitable that the market is going to not cater as much to "us" as much as 'them." This media is growing, and we're gonna see more 'Stephenie Meyers, Kanye Wests, and Michael Bays'  trying to make a buck in this industry. 
 
3D is going to be an unstoppable force. Some are gonna jump the gun like Sony and use glasses (which is gonna limit the 3D capabilities or force you to buy better glasses when they upgrade), and some are gonna do it right like Nintendo. Either way it will be kinda annoying when a flood of motion controled + 3D cash-ins release multi-plat (like attack of the movies 3D). Expect a lot of this. 
 
God damnit.
