They won't. I don't know if I have to make some idiotic prediction or declaration here, but they won't. We'll see what we've seen in the past: revised hardware that is cheaper to manufacture, more profitable and with a lower MSRP for consumers, but with the same basic functions, playing the same games.
I'm sure we'll see constantly revised versions of the Steambox, for those who buy one premade, but it's more of a console experience on PC hardware powered by a proprietary version of Linux.
Apple hardware, be it iOS iPhone or iOS iPad (they are different) or OSX is not a "gaming console." So complaining about hardware revisions and finding that your 4 year old iPhone can't run iOS 7 or your 5 year old iMac can't run OS 10.9 is the same thing as complaining about Moore's Law, the speed of tech development and why do computers have to keep getting faster and more powerful?
