The graphics won't just be better, both the next Xbox and PlayStation will be able to render 4k video. That's 7680p x 4320p or 33Mp of resolution. That's 16x the graphic fidelity.

Both consoles will likely have Wireless Video, allowing you to place the console anywhere in the room, up to 30' away. Not only will this allow you to freely place your console where it fits within the room, but it would also allow you to have the console in one room while playing on a TV in another.

Both consoles will likely also have Wireless USB, allowing you to walk into a room and instantaneously have your gamer profile on your wireless USB flash drive attach to any console. Digital cameras that support wireless USB will be able to easily transfer pictures to your console, and personal media players and smartphones that support it will be able to transfer songs, pictures, and video.

Granted, technology wise that's not a lot of reasons to upgrade, but I suspect inaddition to higher graphic fidelity will be the ability of the CPU to handle better AI. So you may have situations where real-time events are happening so that if you take your time the game's quest options change. Or if you talk to a character and have them go and do something, they'll actually go and do it and their return will be based on how long it takes for them to do that task, not you walking in and out of an area.

But I also think you'll see both Sony and Microsoft playing to their current strengths. Kinect will get faster and smarter, as well as Microsoft will expand the media capabilities of the Xbox to integrate even better with Windows computers and tablets and Windows Phone mobile devices.
