The problem is still hardware price, really. People seem to expect game consoles to come out of the gate acting like high end PC's, but that's too expensive. At the same time, it won't be worth turning out the new $400 console in just another couple of years. That will be an even less substantial boost than PS3 to PS4. The problem is that we're starting to see the limits of gaming. Going forward, systems will only be so much more capable. So what if the PS5 will be able to do 60 FPS with marginally improved graphics? Who cares if the PS6 supports 4k gaming and can do 144 FPS on average? These aren't going to be game changing increases, which is exactly why it seems odd to me that people are expecting a new generation so soon.
Even if the PS4 wasn't a substantial boost, that was the best they could do for a $400 console over seven years after the launch of the PS3. I feel that alone speaks volumes for certain walls we're beginning to hit in gaming.

If what you're suggesting is true, then aren't you afraid that gaming as we know it will implode? How long are people going to tolerate the same experience? I've been playing games for 33 years or more and this is the first generation where I am no wowed. The PS4 and Xbone, they feel like prettier PS3 and 360s imo. It's really taken a substantial amount of excietment out of this generation for me. I couldn't imagine next generation providing the same thing where we get prettier versions of the same games etc.
Maybe VR is the solution?

You're not wowed because you keep playing cross gen games. Or you're getting too old and need something new in your life. Whats with the hyperbole? We're only 1.5 years into the new gen. What game did "wow" you on the PS3 after only 1.5 years? No PS3 game looked particularly amazing before KZ2 and UC2 in 2009 after being 3 years on the market.
I've been "wowed" more this gen than any other gen so far. Driveclub, Infamous SS, Killzone SF, The Order 1886, those graphics have blown my mind, and it doesnt stop there as Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4, Ratchet n Clank and unannounced ones like GoW 4, GT7 etc will look even better thanks to Huma and future proof GPGPU computing of PS4.
It's only the start and games already look this crazy good, it's gonna be an awesome gen.
