I do take your point about AMD but I'm also aware of how some media outlets would want it be seen as a necessity rather than a business choice. We'll see but I really don't see the point in PS5/6/7/9. At some point that cycle will be broken and having finished both UC4 and The Witcher 3, I think technology is far enough along to offer any experience a developer wants to offer. I think we're moving into an era of 'refinements' which negates the need for a fully blown console in my opinion.

Yeah, I don't think tech is expanding to the level it used to when we were able to get 5-7 year console generations. Even with Neo and Scorpio, most games aren't going to look much different, and their impact is going to be limited by the TVs most of us own (4k is getting a decent adoption rate, but I assume most of us still have 1080p TVs, so most of the improvements will come through AA and shadow details and such, which I doubt the average consumer will care much about). The console space, though still strong at the moment, is also declining, bit by bit, with only the success of the ps4 making it look more successful than it is. I don't think consoles are "dying" or any of that sensationalism, but I also think that the typical 5-6 year generations are likely fading out.
