I would love to be surprised and Sony come out with something revolutionary or inovative.  

But I can't think of anything new that a console could do that would not be compared to something already out.

Thats Most likly will be never, the reason being is Sony is more on invention than innovation.

Sony invents thing's while other's innovate the use of said invention's. That is what Sony's main problem is. but on the same token without the invention there would not be as much innovation. So to look for innovation from a company that invents is not going to very likely. the reason being by the time the invention get's done other's have used the technology in innovative ways, and Sony is seen as the one that copy's never mind that in recent times Sony may have been one of the companies that Invented the technology in the first place.

for instance the wiiMote was innovative use of a technology that Nintendo licenced, Same with Kinect Microsoft licenced the technology of Primesense, while Sony invented a use of Motion control with a camera and magnameter use inside a want to track position in 3d space, Some could say that Sony was late to the party, but they did not get it out first before other companies got their technology out first. 

That still does not take away from the fact that Sony did not licence their tech, they invented it! Now Sony of course does not invent every technology nor do they get their technology out first, it just means maybe they were filling a void for something they wanted in house instead of licence from other companies. That may be poor on their choice, but such is life.
