Today's Technologies have by far passed yesterday's accomplishments. It seems like only yesterday that I was using my PSOne and my computer to play Theme Hospital 1. In comparison the technology has only really gotten smaller computers now have smaller and smaller CPU chips and layouts; this allows us to advance. As your aware the tech has greatly enhanced our experience as gamers. Look at a ten year time frame from the release of the Xbox360. In these ten years we saw the launch of the PSOne, the Xbox, the PS2, PSP and many other consoles including the 360 OF COURSE. Now look at the movement of tech, the PSOne used CDs, the next gen (PS2) used single layer DVDs, and the final successor (PS3) used a Blue Ray Disc though this was in the eleventh year after the PSOne's launch. But look at the disc each disc was optical and each basically compressing data into a smaller size.In truth we haven't really accomplished anything. I have no doubt that in a few years time there will be another format even better than the almighty blue-ray e.g. red-ray etc etc.
This advance in technology means games of the future will of course be bigger and more realistic with better graphics sound etc. There's even a little talk of holographic technology starting to emerge (believe me it exists but only in one colour and it is sphere shaped).
So will the world choose a gaming experience that is realistic or an old world were gaming experiences get bigger but the games well... are still like the wii's.
