Now that we are all jaded with the current 360 and PS 3 graphics and gameplay, what kind of enhancements are we looking for in the future both in terms of what we want and what we are going to get? For example, in sports games, the Be a Pro mode is an early step toward what might come next in terms of sports games, not the end all of sport game dynamics. Ideas? In shooters, I cant believe we will always be happy with FPS with dizzying cameras. What's next?

Microsoft and Sony will try to steal many of the wii's features to try and match its success.

Sad really.

Well the 360 and PS3 are great, both great platforms. I can't imagine what a PS4 will be like. I have no idea...

My new tv is "3D ready". It explains that a a new 3d technology is comming out soon and will be used in movies and gaming. You'll still have to use the glasses of course. I don't know how widely used it will be but I would love to have some 3D xbox live arcade games.

I think that what we consider right now to be HD will be standard to use the next generation

Well, other than motion controls and a pointer becoming standardized, I'd say expect only expect the hardware upgrades. I'm hoping hard disc drives will be standard. I think MS did an oops releasing a model without one, and Nintendo needs to realize there are standards they need to meet even if they don't want to play the hardware race (GPU & CPU). In addition to this, I'd like to skip the overly expensive disc reader *cough*Blu-Ray*cough* phase by having standard DVD drives (and use multi-disc installs if necessary) and all games offered as downloadable. I still don't see many games taking up more than a single DVD, and those that do could easily have an install disc and a play disc. And, considering hundreds of GBs are cheap (hell, a terabyte isn't exactly expensive these days), there's really no need not to install the entire game on the console.
