I'm reading through these comments and really laughing my ass off at the bold, crazy rhetoric being used here. Orwellian governments! Everyone is just a complacent cog! America is it's own worst enemy! No more freedom! I mean, I a

I have a feeling, that in the future, gaming is going to either see a complete revolution or another crash (and then a renaissance). Traditional consoles will go out of fashion, and console manufacturers will either 1. fall under, or 2. con
