i know this is too early to talk about but does any body know what the 8th generation og gaming will be like. My most important question is what will the graphics be like. So far ing gaming we went froom 2d to 3d. from 3d to high definition. So whats next? Will the main focus of consoles be based on online. will systems have like 300gb? will  systems be digtal? I know its weird to think but i just wonder what the next gen will offer to us gamers.

Everything streamed.

Virtual reality helmets so you can go in the games.

I think we might see more innovation for next gen....

we already went to 4d this gen.

Remember?

Yeah, and we played b3yond. I remember that too.

Virtual Reality. You'll have a Helmet or Sunglasses like thing and Gloves and Boots. You'll literally be in the game...

Honestly today's graphics don't look that amazing. They looks like shiny model toys, or fuzzy fake model toys. Cut scenes can look quite nice though. Look to the high quality video cut scenes- that should be behind where next gen in game graphics will be, but pretty close. For example, today's in game graphics are about as good as shadow the Hedgehog's cut scene graphics, but look more solid.

I'm sure the next generation will be very similar to this one, especially considering hardware improvements will not show as great of increase in outcome as we saw this generation. Not to mention this seems like a heavy generation for the leader, Nintendo, to get confortable and exploit there heavy brand appeal. Meaning they will do the usual upgrades in hardware(more this time) and feature updates, along with some minor "revolutions" to their controllers, ect. While the competition will likely try to tap into that along with hardware improvements.

In the end you get a very similar generation similar to N64 to GC generation. From a Nintendo fan's point of view N6 should be a dream system. From a Sony and MS fan's point of view it could seem kinda dull jumping up to the next generation given that major hardware upgrades will not likely yield amazing outcome enhancements. Not to mention upgrading on a lot of their features is becoming a little impossible given most of their setups are being perfected with upgrades on these consoles. This gives them little features to really expand on and create big marketing features aside from their upgrades to what Nintendo has already made huge. That unfortunately will be their territory which their marketing will be heaviest.

Of course this is all broadly speaking. I have no idea if either 3 will take a huge risk and really throw something out there that is truly innovative and new, like Nintendo did this generation. But that is what you would expect for the next gen.
