Graphics leaps aren't really necessary for the next get. What I want out of next gen (from Sony of course because PS4 is the most likely console I'll buy) is mostly PC-like loading times. I've played Dragon Age 2 on PC and PS3 and really there's nothing between the two versions IMO other than super short load times on PC and super long load times on PS3. Fewer screen freezes would be good while the game is doing some background loading (though I experience that on PC too).
Eliminate frame rate drops. I don't care about 60fps, but make sure the games have a solid framerate at whatever fps is being used.
Not all that fussed about screen tearing, I barely notice it, except in slower paced games.
I would like to see little things like, solid objects not going through each other, improved biomechanics. I think graphics in terms of textures, draw distance, fine details is good enough for the player to remain immersed. But these other things, they way they are at the moment can tend to draw you out of the immersion.
