The hardcore market will still be there, it isn't going anywhere.  Adding new gamers to the market also adds new devs and companies and gets more games being made.

 Personally I'd rather see small leaps in graphics and new control methods at a cheaper price then to see video gaming get so outrageously expensive by trying to move forward 3 gens at once that I pay more for a console than I do for rent.

 

I don't want to hold the industry back, holding it back in terms of power is the reason why so many ditched consoles in favor of PC.
