I'm trying to keep my expectations as low as possible to avoid being disappointed.
Sounds interesting. Hmm...my predictions for this year:
Nintendo will declare their retirement out of video games. Miyamoto will take over the company and within 10 years, make nintendo the leader in the field of electric gardening tools. Iwata will commit sepukk...seppuk...ritual suicide on stage, uttering a "please understand" as last words. Reggie will quit nintendo in order to get a job as a bouncer in a NY night club.
Microsoft and Sony will announce which franchises they've bought from nintendo. Mario will become MS's next main exclusive and major selling point...until they realise a gritty realism Mario doesn't have the same magic. Zelda will become a multiplatform superstar and will spew out sequels, spin-offs and clones so fast it won't be long 'till it will be hard to find adventurers NOT wearing green. Naughty dog will buy donkey kong, and announce a harsh story of the monkey being hopelessly addicted to banana's after his crushing defeat against jumpman (remember: Mario is sold elsewhere). Retro will become an independent studio that'll acquire the metroid rights, but after a couple versions which don't make good use of modern hardware, it'll be doomed to mediocrity.
Amazon will announce that they've bought both the ouya as well as the patent to the nintendo gamepad. It may be a bit soon to tell the result of what that will mean, but there will be discounts for early adopters nonetheless.
Meanwhile, the 3DS will go open source and everyone will be allowed and encouraged to either hack it or create games for it. Sounds exciting in theory (I predict it will "win E3")...but it'll take a few years of bad ports, half-assed homebrew games and a slew full of emulators to kill all interest in the device.
Man...I can't wait to be wrong on THIS!
