this gen will be the last as graphics will have such a high quality that they won't improve with the next gen that much to make people buy further consoles.
The leap between current and next gen isn't that big and between next gen and next next gen it will be a lot smaller,as smooth,very good looking graphics will satisfy 90% of all gamers.

God damnit if phone companies can sell phones that are so bloody similar you have to delve into them to find one real difference and they can do that EVERY year then console makers can show how leaps in power every SEVEN years are worth your dollars.  Sorry but I don't see how games consoles are soooo different from tablets and PCs and phones.  Those things are nearly IDENTICAL to last year's model yet each sells gangbusters.  Why?  Marketing is a big part of it and people try to convince themselves that the upgrade is needed I guess.

you've already been proven wrong(by the vita)

As soon as it gets to a non-phone/tablett device it seems people aren't even ready to spent 1/4 of a phone every 7 years.(because they were educated to do so) and this situation won't change.

I know I just wonder why this is so.  Seriously you could use an iphone 4 and your experience would basically be the same as a 5S.  I think marketing is part of it and just the perception of games consoles.  Also I would say Vita being a mobile platform doesn't really prove too much.  I mean no one uses 3D on the 3DS and yet it's selling gangbusters and it's still a handheld system (effected more by tablets and phones than home consoles are).
