Ironically, 4e I think won't make a good videogame that companies would want to license from WOTC.

You listed of course all of the movement effects which play a bigger part in 4e than any other edition. Similarly, the use of interrupts and immediate reactions that a player can choose all mean one thing.

4e as a real-time videogame would pretty much have to nerf many of the classes. It would have to be a grid-based turn based videogame a la Disgaea and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Turn-based & grid-based RPGs is a decidely niche genre that right now only the japanese seem to produce for. As much as people say 4e is a MMORPG, it would make a horrible, absolute horrible real timed game due to those features.
