On December 9th, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan made a patent application for their discs.
According to the information received, the technology would allow console to attach games to themselves. The discs would come with a contactless tag, which would be written the first time the game was used in a console. This way, next time the disc was inserted in a console, the ID in the disc would be compared to the ID in the console, and the game only would run if both were the same.
This patent presents some problems. What happens if you console breaks? Or if you have more than one console? And retail stores would have a big business problem.
Anyways, Sony hasn't confirmed anything about this, so it is possible that this technology never gets used.

Wii U
Wii U has been released last November, the console that has been said to be the most innovative until now.
The console design, the operating system, the style of games or even the hardware specifications are nothing but little improvements of the original Wii.
However, the feature that has got the attention of everyone is the gamepad. People say the controller is very comfortable to use. The resistive screen is the protagonist, even if it's not as good as it could be, having a resolution of only 854 x 480 pixels.
The batteries don't last very long either, which a lot of people has considered a bad point.
The controller is just a mix between a tablet and a controller, and the hardware lacks some power for a next-generation console, but the idea is not bad and could allow developers to come up with very good ideas.
We will have to wait some time to see how the console is received by the people and the uses companies give to the controller.
