"TOKYO, May 28 (Reuters) - Nintendo Co Ltd <7974.OS> said on Friday it has codenamed its next-generation home console "Revolution", cementing a pledge to offer video game fans an entirely different gaming experience from current machines.
The Kyoto-based game maker said it plans to boost research and development (R&D) costs 27 percent from a year ago to 20 billion yen ($180 million) in the business year ending March 31, in part to fund development costs for Revolution."

They could just go the whole way and have the console implanted in you.
To play a game you swallow it and to remove one game and insert another...the process is quite obvious.

Except that it's from ExistenZ.
Maybe you'll get a 2nd screen to put inside your eyelids, so it's REALLY secret. Then your face could be the controller. Gnash your teeth for Z, move your tongue for the analogue stick. Stick your finger in your ear and wiggle it around to pause, that sort of thing.

The whole area doesn't load in that time :P As you move around it loads up areas as you go, there's no stopping mid-area or no slow Resi-style door opening is what I meant.
