So what is the next gen going to have over the current gen?
We already have great graphics, force feedback, motion sensors, surround sound, HD /MP3/DVD/CD/etc playback what more will there be? The next gen console will rely on what other hardware we can plug the console in to. For instance you can't build a super HD console without a super HD screen to play it on.
Perhaps the current gen can continue for longer than the last gen by adding the plug-ins themselves - see Guitar Hero, Wii Fit etc. I can see more of these add on devices taking the games in a different direction rather than the next gen providing better technology. (unless of course we get surround-vision screens or cost effective VR in the next 5-8 years)
