Motion Gaming, 3D Gaming, What's Next?

If you haven't already heard, PS3 and Xbox are both introducing motion and 3d gaming to their consoles. But the question is, what does this leave for future consoles? Well I thought about that too, and came up with only one possible answer: Mind-controlled video games!

Why and When?


Why? Well, since there isn't anything left. Think of it this way: Right now you can play a 3-Dimensional racing game while steering your car simply by rotating your hands. Now, replace the arm rotation by nothing other than your thoughts. Sounds pretty awesome, right? But what comes after that? Well, the only thing that I can think of is actually being in the game, but that probably won't happen for a long time.
But when can we actually expect mind-controlled video games for our favorite consoles? Well, not anytime soon I suppose. With motion and 3D gaming scarcely being released, expect at least 5 to 7 years until mind-controlled gaming is revealed to the crowd.

Although this might seem like a great idea now, imagine life where only mind-controlled gaming exists. No more buttons, no more movement, just sitting there, staring at the TV, thinking. Sounds pretty dull doesn't it? Let's face it, nothing can really replace the legendary controller, and nothing ever will.
