I was going to switch it up this year and ask for specific dates of your predictions (of undated events) to see who is closest. Then I realized that was incredibly boring! Let's stick with the old format: Anything goes! Predict things in 2010 in the video game world.
Unfortunately, one of the easiest predictions came true already in this Kotaku Article

Will this be the year they'll premiere the reality TV "John H8s K8N8: Return of the Octomom?"
Will this be the year that a new twist in the RPG genre takes hold?
Will this be truly the year we make contact?
What other Internet-based features will be supported on consoles?
Where will the new Netflix Wars take us?
WHERE'S MY FUCKING FLYING CAR, DAMN IT!

Re: 2010 PredictionsSo here are mine:
Deaths (I hope I'm wrong): Steve Jobs, Nolan Bushnell, Ronald McDonald. To explain, Ronald McDonald is their mascot, but 20+ years beyond his usefulness. They won't retire the symbolism, but it might be a good year to stop hawking with the creepiest clown on earth. Special "electronics" scanning will be implemented at airports. Oh, and there's a fee for every game system, cell phone, PC, CPAP machine, etc. that they have to check out. Lines will be very slow. 2010 will be the boom year of the LED TV. The first libel and/or slander lawsuit brought by a game studio will happen. If controversial content is no longer raising eyebrows, then a lawsuit might do it. Let's face it, the wingnuts that cry "you get points for raping" should be held liable (except for maybe that one game). Their intent is clearly malicious. Sugary cereal ads will invade the consoles. The FCC is cracking down on television ads. This seems to be the next logical place. Blueberry Muffintops, anyone? EDIT (Jan 20): Ms Pac-man Championship Edition will be announce for a release in calendar year 2011 to celebrate her 30th birthday! She's more than Pac-man with a professional pantsuit...and a bow. I'm finishing with a reminder that all of the predictions are pure guesswork.
Re: 2010 PredictionsProlly my only prediction:
With the release of Nicalis' two big wiiware releases, stories like this hopefully become less common. Oh hell I'll go out on a limb and call La-Mulana as best game to come out on wiiware. :3 OLRmy since 6/23/2002!

Re: 2010 PredictionsOther people are thinking it's time to get rid of Ronald McDonald, too. Although the people taking the poll disagree:
