Robots are in early stages at present, but we can all imagine the day when robots will do most of the work that is currently performed by humans.

When that happens, what will humans do ... play games of course. To that end I think Sony, or some other company, should think bigger. To help people stay active playing games, have larger trackball/trackpad devices so people actually have to walk/jog to move their character in the game. Other sensors could track eye, head, arm, hand movements etc.
