Nice list, however, I wouldn't call the Nintendo Wii Vitality Sensor a rumour as it was announced and unveiled but it just never materialised into a retail product
The vitality sensor would have been useful if Nintendo ever decided to make an Eternal Darkness sequel, it would measure your heart rate to dictate if you needed a scare or not and adapt the game accordingly. Sadly, it's application for games is limited.
Square Enix might as well announce a FFVII remake, since they don't finish projects people care about anymore anyway.
The Xbox 360 Blu Ray rumor would have never worked. They would have had to put out two separate games, one on DVD and one on Blu Ray. That would have been a confusing mess, also when you consider that less than 20 games in the whole Xbox 360 library require more than a single disk, its not something needed this gen.
No its not that most games didnt need more than one disc, its just that companies dumbed down their games for dvd. Thats why we get games with 4 hour campaigns this gen. Then they port that trash to ps3. Pretty lame.
Looking on how successful the Yakuza series is doing, Sega might see Shenmue as a step backwards or not appealing to today's audiences. I do know that at least twice, developers and the creator himself said they wanted to do it. There was also supposed to be Shenmue online.
To be able to play as Ryu again and walk down the streets of Japan. Ah, memories.
Beating a dead horse has to stop at some point. But I am a bit surprised it never went multiplat, same for Splinter cell: Conviction. Makes me wonder how much cash has to be shelled out to keep third party titles exclusive.
Thank god that didnt happen!
I guess people don't even read the titles anymore.

Shenmue 3 was never more than a rumor.
It wouldn't have been for games had it come out anyway, I think platform holders are a bit more sensible than Sega.
Gears Of War 3 was around a 13 hour campaign alone. Your buying into the whole Sony fanboy reasoning.
Nobody gimped anything, if something was too big, they would just split it up into more disks.

Then the teasers with a green power button and MGS4 IS DEFINITELY COMING TO 360.
I think that just broke people when it was a game based on MGS4 for iPhone and it all stopped at that point.
Odd.
