Next gen offers not much except for graphics

You came to the conclusion through the videos alone? Man, have we not learned already that games should be played, not watched, in order to build a respectable opinion?

Either that, or it's that mentality of "the game looks pretty damn beautiful. Therefore, it only has graphics, and no gameplay".

What will be so different? The controllers are the same, 12 buttons, two triggers and that's it... PSOne (MS copied Sony again :P ) had those. PS4 has a track pad on their controller... cool... but how do they use it? Nothing is showed, the games seem to play exactly how they would play on PS3 or PS2... 

They are right there with their cameras but people are so whining about these technologies that sometimes I wonder if devs are not shy of using them properly. Cameras, motion, mics, the clouds... they have so many inputs... use them!!!

I know they are first gen titles but I need to feel the next gen not only on pretty graphics... 

I really don't like the controls argument. Pads are evolving but basically stay the same, because noone had come with a better idea how to control a wide variety of games in a comfortable way. Pads are the best solution, why change that only for the sake of innovation. 

Nintendo "innovated" with controls this gen, and that's only a turn off for me, if they would be so convinced that the gamepad is better in every way, they wouldn't come up with the Pro Controller. The not so very overwhelming demand for the Wii U shows, that changing for the sake of changing may not be the way to go. I'm not saying controlls are the only reason for Wii U's lackluster sales, but Wii is where it is sales-wise in a big part thanks to the groundbreaking controll scheme. Motion controlls did not appear to be better in the long run, but what has been sold, is sold.
