More games I want. Good Star Fox & a Normal FF would go a long way.
Outside of The usual Nintendo hits, NMH 1/2, & Dead Space this gen sucked.

I'd rather Sony spend that 2 dollars on an extra USB slot or something in the hardware. Besides, who doesn't have a million HDMI cables already?

This mainly. I have no interest in the current 3D fad and don't want to have to wear glasses to enjoy my games. As far as motion controls go, as long as there are regular games to supplement motion control games, I'm cool. A little of both goes a long way.
I'm not a big graphics whore, so I don't particularly care about updated graphics or anything like that in the next generation. What I do care about is space. When I get a PC, it's outdated within a year. I don't want the same experience with a gaming system. Going from fat to slim after five years of release is one thing. Selling an 80 gig, then a couple months later toting a 160 gig is different, especially as digital download games get bigger and more games require installs first.
Nintendo also needs to streamline their online with their next-gen console. I think they dropped the ball this generation between having so many games on VC/WiiWare and having so little space on the Wii, plus friend codes vs. making your own profile. I get Nintendo wants to stay family-friendly but that's entirely possible without insanely long number strings.

I hope a new player hits the scene and really turns things upside down. I'm tired of the status quo. Nintendo really had the right idea with Wii, but there are very few companies willing to go all in on something other than the tried and true methods of the past.
Don't get me wrong. There are lots of great games this generation. But innovation has been sorely lacking. You can put as much tech in the box as you want, but that hasn't made things more fun. At least to me, anyway.

at this point in my life, I'd totally pay many hundreds of dollars for a Steambox - all DD, big HDD, lots of ram and a solid i5/i7, with hdmi out
i would spend so much on steam. I plan to build a windows gaming rig (15" MBP supremacy 4 lyfe) but it'd be easier to just buy a Steambox

A lot of the recently released phones now have 1GB of RAM(Atrix 4G), quite a few phones released last year had 512MB (eg Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire HD).
But like you keep saying RAM is different putting even the 1GB versions of RAM of a phone into a console would cause it to slow to a crawl. People need to stop looking at useless bullet points like the amount of RAM as some sort of metric.
The following is for a console released in 2014, on a 22/20nm node
High End hopes:
4GB of RAM
A CPU up to 1.4B transistors (A bit higher than Sandybridge @ 4Ghz)
>4Ghz CPU
A GPU with 2.5B transistors (slightly higher than Geforce 560)
256 bit path to memory
200GB/s path to memory
Low End hopes:
2GB of RAM
>3 Ghz CPU
A CPU with up to 1B transistors
A GPU with up to 1.5B transistors
150 GB/s path to memory
CPU and GPU on a single die

And enjoy a wonderful future where for every hour you spend playing, you spend two hours downloading drivers and tweaking settings.
An all-PC future would help me catch up on my reading and other hobbies, I guess.

I've spent longer updating firmware, game patches and game installs (LOL gt5) in the last 3 months than I have on my pc in a year.
The hdd is so fucking slow.
Haven't had to upgrade any drivers on my pc in a year apart from one catalyst update (which steam will do for me in a single click without needing a reboot anyhow).
Steam downloads and patches my games in the background while i'm surfing, idling or playing other games.
Oh and I also installed GOM media player in the last few months, googling it, dling it and installing it took like a minute and a half.
Meanwhile every goddamn time I log onto psn I get another firmware update thrown at me that takes ten minutes and a reboot, it's ridiculous.
Not sure why I even dignify your post with a retort,I guess it's for the offchance than someone somewhere will take you serious.
Oh and you forget to mention the amount of time you spend staring at extra/LONG loading screens on consoles.
They drive me nuts everytime I play on one of my consoles, pc has spoiled me over the last 10 years.
