Simple list. Just hopes and dreams, with little or no support for them!
1. I get my 360 before the end of January!
2. That we'll see the very first Wii price cut or bundle-improvement by Christmas '09.
3. That we'll see the PS3 drop by at least $50 on the low and top end plus get a bundle improvement OR we see a $100 price drop. Hoping for an improved bundle with a $100 price drop seems a bit greedy :P
4. That we'll see price drops on 360 storage (memory cards and harddrives), a $20-50 price drop on the various SKU's or improved bundles. Seeing the current Pro become the new Core, the current Elite become the new Pro, and the Elite getting a bigger harddrive, WiFi adapter, etc., would be even better. Keep the prices the same in that case.
5. Street Fighter IV will have PC/360 and PC/PS3 online play.
6. City of Heroes will get a new, boxed expansion, plus the Mac version adding 50-100% to the playerbase.
7. Guild Wars 2 comes out and kicks major butt. Well, actually, this will be a given...
8. Microsoft finally gives Live! Silver online play, but adds even more features to Live! Gold. However, I do not want to see anything more taken from Live! Silver - all perks should be just that - perks.
9. Microsoft finally loosens up and starts embracing User Generated Content the way that Live was originally envisioned but they backed off from.
10. NCSoft finally gets a PS3 game out for us to play!
11. That the console version of The Witcher blows the doors off of Final Fantasy XIII. Because, honestly, the status quo needs to be shaken up.
12. That Japanese RPG companies will try and make something along the lines of The Witcher, Knights of the Old Republic, Oblivion or Fallout 3. Because, honestly, the status quo needs to be shaken up.
