With the impending announce of its Next Gen (if rumours are to be believed) I'm wondering what can Sony announce that would make people excited. I'm kind of meh about a new gen myself.
1) Hardware specs? I wonder if anyone gets excited about this anymore. Gone are the days of polygon/sec or FLOPS touting. It's fair to expect that power-wise the PS4 and the NextBox will be in the same ballpark, enough that differences in multiplatform releases will be minor, as they are today.
2) New control schemes? This has become a differentiator, but a kind of moot one I think. Dualshock+Sixaxis+Move? Anyone cares?
3) Exclusives? The bread and butter of consoles, but what can they announce? A new God Of War? Uncharted? KillZone? None of those get my adrenalin going.
I'm not going to lie, I know I'll end up buying it eventually, but I'm not forgetting that I got burnt last time when the price was reduced months after I bought.
For now I just can't get excited.
