Intel doesn’t have any chip technology found in today’s current buffet of home video game consoles, but after seeing how much bank the other chip-makers are taking in, they’re not going to miss the opportunity again.

Intel’s chief technology officer, Justin Rattner, had the following to say:
“We imagine some future generation of [Nintendo's] Wii won’t have hand controllers. You just set up the cameras around the room and wave your hand like you’re playing tennis.”
Hmm…what if someone walks into the room while you’re playing?
