New console predictions

I have been thinking about the possible new consoles coming one day. We have already seem some of the new Wii U. So we have seen some of the tactics that Nintendo intends to take. I think them going high def is a very smart move. I think also them making the new Wii U on par power wise with the current PS3 and Xbox360. I am not a fan of the new controller though. So we will have to see how the public will take it.
Next up is the Xbox360 next gen product. Who knows if this is going to be the Xbox720 or something else. But I feel that the next console should be more powerful. Something like a 6 to 8 core system. With an update to the graphic system to challenge programmers to use even more power. Also integrating the technology from the Kinect into the new system along with improvements to the sensitivity of the system. I also strongly recommend that they make it more accessible to the average game room. Not everyone has 12 feet or more of free space in front of their tv. Touch controls added to the controller its self could also add some new fun game types to the.console market.
Now my favorite console this generation has been the PS3. So the PS4 has been on my mind for a while on what they are planning on doing. My thoughts are to keep the cell processor technology. I say do this for multiple reasons. First it will cut drastically on Sony's R&D costs. But also keeping the same processor architecture but giving much more power will get better games.out faster. If Sony did a 4 core or more cell processor and added in the Gpus to match you would already have a great system. Also for the controller it would be great to keep the current design. But also market so you can directly use the new psvita to play games on the system as a controller. Adding a touch pad to the back of the current controller design would also be a good move into games not normally seen on a console. Integrating in the move controls into the system would also be a good way of getting mass acceptance of movement controls on the plantation system. finally getting a larger hard drive in the system but also the blue ray drive but upgraded for reading 4 or more layers will help keep costs low.
If all these console can keep in the prices in an acceptable range then we as customers will be the real winners.
