The next generation looks like it will be a refinement of this one, with even more power offered by PC-like cards strong on special shaders/stream processors. It will probably finally reach what was sort-of-promised by the current generation of HD 3d consoles: 1080p @60fps with evolutionary improvements all around. Possible new techs hitting mainstream: stereoscopic 3D and headtracking.
Now the one after that might be a totally different beast, because if we really move to general-purpose many-cores CGPUs, we could abandon the current DirectX/OpenGL pipelines and see the rise of alternative techs such as ray tracing etc. Such alternative techs will surely bring with them new stylistic options for designers, and we'll probably see completely new kinds of 3d graphics being born.
