9 Outlandish Predictions for the Future of Gaming

8. Death To The Controller!

Ok sure,this prediction isn't even all that outlandish, given the immense popularity of the Wii, the PS Move and Microsoft's Kinect. Let's be honest, at some point in the not-too-distant future, the gaming controller will likely become obsolete and considered a relic of a bygone age; at the very most it'll be a retro accessory, survived only by aging Street Fighter fans who refuse to let it go. Is this a good thing? I'm honestly indifferent. Sure, I've grown up using physical controllers, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm emotionally attached to them. No more than I am the handle on my car door. As long as the games that are being delivered in the future are up to par and the execution is satisfactory, I don't care whether the controller is a pad, my entire body or a banana. The proof is in the pudding.
