Did we REALLY need or want a new generation of consoles?

Yes absolutely. One look at the record breaking sales of both the PS4 and Xbox One shows that.

I'm confused about this statement. What record did these consoles break? The Xbox One sold slower than the original Wii, and the PS4 is on path to sell about 1mil less than the Wii did in its first 8 months on market. Are you talking record compared to their respective predecesors?

The fact that the current-gen version is outselling the last-gen version of pretty muc every game released on all platforms is proof enough. Take a peak at the Watch Dogs and Destiny preorders. PS4 number 1 and XBOne number 2.
