What is the future of interactive entertainment?

Nintendo: Lots of Mario and Zelda games, obviously, and lots of waving your arms about, just as long as our engineers can come up with a stronger wrist strap. All these lawsuits from people with smashed TVs are going to cost us a fortunate. Lucky we don’t support those fancy high-def tellies…

Sony: Whatever we say it will be. The future doesn’t start until we say it does.

Microsoft: Halo 3. And 4. And 5’s going to be a real killer. It might even have a proper ending. Just don’t talk about the movie, OK?

It’s funny because it’s true.
