I completely agree with the OP, even though I have already bought that killer machine X1 and am enjoying it quite much. Thing is, apart from WiiU (which in its concept feels more next-Gen than X1 or PS4) it feels as though we are bying these new machines to continue playing games from the 7th Gen, only with a higher pixel count.

the 5th Gen introduces 3D in a big way, the 6th Gen came with DVD, hard drives and three strong console developers. The 7th Gen introduces HD in a big way and the uniqueness of motion gaming. But now, what is special about 8th Gen? Could it be the introduction of apps in console gaming?
