Not a day goes by without some email or message asking me about the future of gaming. We here at Defunct Games talk about the past so much that it seems we never talk about the current, or future. But today that will change ... but only slightly.

You see, we have been keeping track of the upcoming war between Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony, and we have our own thoughts and opinions. But at Defunct Games we need something more than just well rounded opinions and fair assessments of the industry. No, we need PROOF! How much proof? Well, three expert predictions should do it.

So we set ourselves up with a list of vital questions that NEED to be answered, and then we got them answered with three "trustworthy" sources. First we went straight to the King ... No, not Michael Jackson or Howard Stern, but ELVIS!! Over at The Land of E.L.V.I.S. you to can get into a conversation with the master thespian. And then we consulted our trusty Magic Eight Ball (hey, it's never let me down before). And finally we wanted to get a spiritual outlook at the future of our gaming world. So, we found John Lennon, which you to can talk to over here, and we asked him the questions. John was a bit of a grouch. Regardless, what follows are the responses from our experts. (Oh, and make sure you check out our second edition, Fight the Future: the Brit, the Beattle, and the 8 Ball, which we posted several months later.)
