• Bluetooth would be nice. It's not too big on my list of priorities.
• Solidstate drives will probably still be too expensive and a console should be cheaper than a PC, not more expensive. That said, there needs to be some kind of internal adapter inside to accept a SATA2 harddrive. They can package one if they want, pref. a 10k rpm Raptor, but if they don't, that's fine too. I'm afraid they'll take it as an opportunity to unproportionally jack up the price.
• Network is preferrable.
• I honestly prefer the 360 controller over the Dualshock 3. I just really don't like the L2 / R2 buttons on the Dualshock 3. The 360's trigger shaped L2 and R2 is much more intuitive with pressure sensitivity. With that said, both the current PS3 and Dualshock 3 controllers need to be thrown out the window and completely redesigned. Both controllers put way too much emphasis on the thumbs. I would like to see the other fingers get more in on the action. At the moment, controllers will never pass keyboard in efficiency because with a controller, you only use two of your fingers, maybe three whereas on a keyboard, you can use all your fingers.
• MXM motherboard for standardized and interchangeable GPUs. Sure the company can make it propriety if they want as long as I can upgrade my GPU without having to wait for the next generation of consoles. The current consoles GPUs just aren't comparable anymore. With MXM, companies could release multiple levels of consoles too. Instead of the elite version just having a bigger harddrive, the elite version can also now feature a better GPU. Now that I would pay for.
• BluRay would be preferrable.
• I would really like to see the Broadband CPU by IBM / Sony get more in on the action. It's an incredibly powerful design very well suited toward driving graphics. Unfortunately it's very tough to program for, almost requiring custom written code to have run smoothly. But I have no doubt in my mind that when it's potential is revealed, it will be a beast. Hopefully, Sony's new devkit will let this happen.
• Watercooling or some kind of improved cooling device. Sony really deserves kudos on the PS3 here. The PS3 has far superior design to the 360 in that it sucks air out from the bottom and lets hot air, that rises, naturally escape from the top of the machine. So a constant flow of fresh, cool air is being driven into the PS3, as long as your PS3 isn't in an enclosed space, by taking advantage of room dynamics. The 360 on the other hand, is just designed like ****. If you don't stand it up vertically, hot air is trapped inside the console, frying your components. If you do stand it up vertically, the drive evidently sucks and destroys your disks. Half the people I know who own 360s have reported having game disks destroyed when playing upright.
