For Consoles It sure was the Sega Dreamcast that brought attention to ‘Online play’ and console Web Browsing.. In which Microsoft carried on but to a more successful rout.

Beforehand, Nintendo brought us the Analogue ‘N64 Controller’ which defined the way we play games today. (Although Sega’s Nights Pad came at around the same time)

Now we have Nintendo’s New Wave: DS / Wii with their totally innovate Game Control designs.. We know the DS is a Success and we’re still to see about the Wii (though im pretty 100% sure its going to be massive)..

Will the Next batch of Handhelds (PSP 2, Xbox) Borrow features of the DS?? IE: the Touch screen?

In the Xbox-3 / PS4 generation will we still be using dual-analogue Pads or a more Wii-influenced Control Scheme?

What do you think? Do you think that the standard Dual-Analogue has almost had its time?

What are your views?
