We also talked about this point in other topics.. for me I really do not see much technological innovation happening on the consoles. Everything we wished for as gamers tech. wise is here . Actually it was on the PS3 but its even improved on the PS4 . The graphical jumps do not matter much either, they are much smaller than in the mid-90's. I think from here on its just about providing games that are unique and different like Minecraft , its about software not hardware.
Unless of course, gaming turns into a totally different path like Virtual Reality or something...
With the off-the-shelf PC hardware (more or less) could
potentially come a PC (or phone/tablet) style upgrade cycle. In 2-3 years, put out a model with a better APU, more RAM, etc that can still run PS4 software, but at higher settings (like, say, scaled to 4k TVs that'll likely be getting more mainstream attention by then). Software could just scale, like it does on most other computing devices.
They can grow the tools/capabilities over time, alongside the hardware evolution, rather than build a new platform from the ground up every generation.
Again, not saying that's what they'd do - just as likely to move to a $50 game streaming device - but it seems like something they
could do if it made sense.
