I think the real question with the next Playstation and Xbox is to what extent will they follow or try to top Nintendo in terms of innovative control? Can they get away with *another* generation with the same-old gamepads? Is there something even more far-out innovative than what the Wii is doing they can move to?
Well, I think a speech control would in principle even work now. A stereo camera control should be feasibe with the next generation too, so you would no longer need specail controlers as in the Wii for motion detection. The problem will be more, when will you use which kind of interface.
In fact even the current next generation is so powerfull, that its capacity will never be used even at the end of its lifetime (a problem of all parallel systems). The biggest changes will be in the memory and memory transfer department, not in the pure calculating power.
