Some devices actually are just progressions of what is already available. I'd say the SNES was a beefed up Nes but I wouldn't say the Wii was a beefed up Gamecube. I wouldn't say that the DS was just a more powerful GBA but I would say that the 3DS was just a more powerful DS. It's not a bad thing.
To be honest, I made a big deal earlier but it remains to be seen if the PS4 and Xbox One are just natural progression or huge leaps from the previously laid groundwork. I do think M$'s focus on Kinect (for better or worse) is what will make that console unique. We'll see.
