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? 

That is a legitimate problem that we're advancing on. Games can only look so much more realistic. Games can only get so complex without becoming redundant. The next step, like you mention, is likely changing the way we play more than altering how what we play looks, and altering the way we play doesn't require a new generation right now. As it stands, VR is going to be introduced on the current generation, and depending on how its received, I could see it singlehandedly extending this generation, especially if AAA developers become interested in it. If we can distract from hardware limitations with other means, it could go a long way.

We have hit the point where game streaming is the best option. When platform holders can simply swap out server racks with the new hardware to enable the new shiny game -- you'll understand why game streaming is the future.

I think VR is gonna be the only system still using physical consoles in about 8 years.

People are just resistant to change man. So many people get so salty in regards to digital only games; So many people get so salty in regards to VR; and so many people get so salty in regards to game streaming. In each case I think those people need to stop whining and adapt.
