One prediction I've made is coming closer to reality. Consoles are becoming more important in the personal lives of many families. They've transformed from one to four player in-house or local-connected consoles for gamers. Now they can chat with friends online, watch movies, buy MP3's, and be controlled via body movement. The latest addition to the XBox360 seems to be the integration with Skype. This is possible due the fact that Microsoft recently purchased Skype and is trying to make it a de facto video conferencing solution on many platforms. Skype will give video conference capabilities to the XBox360 but maybe another integration involving Voice over IP calling. Keep an eye on future integration plans for consoles, you're going to be surprised how connected they become.
