The Wii was Nintendo’s reinvention of the gaming console as we know it, but what’s next for the super gaming company? Microchip manufacturer Intel seems to believe that the next generation of consoles won’t even have hand controls.
“You just set up the cameras around the room and wave your hand like you’re playing tennis,” says Intel chief technology officer, Justin Rattner. This leads us to believe that the next-gen of consoles might integrate a camera sensor system, much like the Sony Eye Toy.� Intel is known for supplying the chips that power these next-gen consoles, so this prediction might be one to keep an eye on. — Andrew Dobrow
