Electronic Arts' CEO John Riccitiello has speculated today that both the PS4 and Xbox 8 will be unveiled next year, in preparation for either a holiday release or a 2014 release.

With the grossly slumping performance of console endeavors, NOW would be a really good time for the PC market to jump into the market & really make a good impression.
By their own admission it's going to be 2 more years before another console comes out, which means games will continue to be reverse engineered for decayed technology, rather than continuing playing to the newer technology available.
Still, once the newer consoles arrive, those machines will probably have a 2.5/3 year shelf life before history starts to repeat itself once again.

Sorry but it's time for new ones. They keep evolving their current consoles with "newer slicker models" but that's about it. They need to work on their games I agree. If you want to increase the life of your console, be innovative plain and simple.

They have to limit most existing games to 720p or an upscaled lower resolution. so need hardware that can actually handle native 1080p for most games before they really make more complex games.
The Wii U , yea sure it may have a head start, but really common , what does it actually have to offer? theres nothing new, just new games, and a new once again pathetic controller system. makes for some boring gamming. but hey fun for the 16 years old and younger.
Im pretty sure also that the ps4 and xbox 8 wont have much new to offer. Better hardware maybe, a kinect 2. and yes most likely bluray. and more expensive online play. but for actually being a "next-gen" system. no, thats what they said about the xbox 360. yea it has ok graphics, next gen is definately not just graphics or hardware. and no 3d is not next gen lol 3D is a Joke.
WOW. So in like 2 more years I might buy another PS game or two. They have a lot to work on IMO. By then I might just say the heck with it all, and not even care. Good job Sony.
