I just realized what would set off a truly revolutionary change for consoles! by MM 07/16/2013, 12:17pm PDT
I mean something that would really open a whole new world for console gaming.

It's not motion sensing, it's not dual screens, it's not voice control.

Its controller is identical to the standard Dual Shock with one crucial difference:

The right stick is replaced with a trackball.

Suddenly console players have the precision control to directly compete with PC players on the same network. No primitive "aiming mode" necessary!

Suddenly console players can play RTS and other PC-exclusive genres with a modicum of competence.

It would be a whole new world for on-the-couch gaming!

Am I crazy?
