The next gen will probably have ray tracing capabilities. This will require a significant amount of ram and graphical capabilities.

Can somebody please explain to me what does it mean to "have ray tracing capabilities"? I know quite well what ray tracing is, hence the question. And, for one thing, why would we need or want to have "ray tracing capabilities" in a game console? That is, assuming they are something else than being able to produce ray traced renderings, which requires no extra capability of the computer/console whatsoever.
