Like with cellphones, TV's tech gets better. Yes graphics are great now and that's because the developers have pushed both systems to the max.. Remember Atari, NES etc? I remember saying wow look how good these games look.
It's time for next gen gaming systems. Not from a graphic standpoint but from all the next gen features and apps, social etc. Making gaming that much better.. New consoles mean new IP's and not having to go to older versions go games and sell them in HD. Out of this generation of consoles there is only 2 series that keep making year after year after year, not including your sport games, and that's the Assassins Creed series and Call of Duty. AC3 just came out last year and the DLC hasn't all come out but hey let's squeeze 4 in to make some extra cash. AC3 was a big let down for me, I just couldn't relate to Connor or the story for that matter which was short and took forever to grow up. I hope AC4 will make up for it.
Anyway back on topic here, yes we are in need of new consoles. There isn't anything that will change my mind. Hell, I traded in my Wii U because it really wasn't anything special besides HD and the game pad. I'm sure Nintendo is working on upgraded version of the Wii U because it does have potential.

even with that strong case there will still be many gamers tempted to be one of those people to own the new system, see for themselves what it is all about and even with a negative response to owning the new game system, everyone will catch on and be "those" people to have "those" new game systems. because they will have it they will want the need to fulfill their money's worth and BAM the new game industry is well on its way, even though we all KNOW that we dont need them, we will still buy them. we are addicted to this instant gratification that these games provide us with.

bioshock infinite is a perfect example of why we need new systems, literally the game was held from being as good as it could be on consoles due to 7 and 8 year old consoles and technology

Even as good as graphics can be on ps3 and 360, game designers often have to make a choice between graphics and game depth or gameplay. Some of the best games on 360 have terrible graphics, and the games with the best graphics are often huge let downs. I'm not saying that I feel that a new console cycle is NECESSARY, but I'd also argue the case that no video games are NECESSARY. As long as graphics and processors get better and there is a demand for improved consoles, there will always be a need for a next playstation and Xbox.

If they are going to put coding that only allows new games and include a kinect sensor that is always connected I am going to have a hard decision on upgrading. I have no problem buying new games however I don't want to be told I cant play used ones. I like kinect and have one but I dont want it watching me when I am playing a non-kinect title.

I agree on both counts.

Lol, I was going to say just turn it to face a wall. But yeah I'm not fond of a Kinect always on but I don't really care about that.
However the new game thing will definitely be a dealbreaker for me. Yeah I'll probably get a new xbox eventually, but definitely will not be a new adopter for at least a year.

If it has some good launch games I will grab it. The used game thing is a bit of a pisser but if my 360s stay alive the library is big enough that I'll have plenty of stuff to play.
I have this mousepad my ex-girlfriend made me--it's a World of Warcraft one but with a clear window in the middle, where she put in a 1:1 scale high res picture of a vagina being penetrated by a glass dildo.
Not only is it a great mousepad, but it will give those Big Brother motherfuckers at MS something to look at when I leave it in front of the Kinext 24/7.
