The handheld games thing in the upper right-hand corner is correct now, except the DS doesn't have an antenna attached to it. Other than that, it's so accurate, it's scary.

Have they made any arcade games yet in which the player is totally surrounded by screens? It would be cool for a driving or air combat game. You could look over your shoulder and see what's following you.
