for your 4), i'm definitly convinced that there are plenty of developers out there that would like to play with more powerfull hardware. The question is how many publishers are willing to pay for that. And how much consumers are willing to pay for a little better graphics. ( because even if those new machine can do a lot better graphics, this is going to be expensive...).

Maybe  I don't represent the majority but I really saw the need for a gen after the PS2. However at this time I am quite happy with what the PS3 can provide and I don't really feel like better graphics would make my gaming experience any better ( Heavy Rain totally drew me in without the need for better graphics for example and I don't feel like better graphics is what would improve Assassin's Creed at this point..)

Well some seem unable to get how to do a game without showing off in ever increasing amounts. I don't know the links, but someone in another thread showed that some people wanted even more powerful systems.
