What do gamers want in an Xbox Two or a Playstation 5? Do they want more of the same in a future gaming console? Which would probably be a significant bump in graphics, a very similar controller and a slight bump in the online interface. Or do they want something completely different, the way the Nintendo Wii took the world by storm last generation... and how the Wii U, which was equally strange, failed to take anyone by storm?

Value Walk admits that while the Playstation 4 has sold well and received solid reviews, many gamers are underwhelmed by it. Specificially, because the hardware is almost exactly like the Playstation 3- and Value Walk has a few hardware upgrades in mind that might get people talking about the PS5. They're claiming that the inclusion of 4K or VR would be a massive game-changer for consoles (which it rightly would be), but you'd also have to convince gamers to pick up new and potentially unfamiliar upgrades. Expermients like the Playstation Move certainly haven't worked, and the Microsfot Kinect isn't faring much better.

MoviePilot has similar thoughts in mind- VR and 4K being the two big potentially hardware changes, although they also include room integration as a potential addition to a next-gen console.

However, the new console generation might be coming sooner than you'd think. Trusted Reviews claims that the AMD is now arguing that the next console generation will begin early, as orchestrated by Sony and MIcrosoft, who feared they started the current gen too late.

"The life cycle of the products are probably going to be shorter. Our customers are already thinking about what comes next."

We're thinking of what's next too- whether an Xbox Two or Playstation 5 will come standard with VR technology, and if it'll really revolutionize the gaming industry.
