I for certain am ready for a complete overhaul in consoles and console gaming because I'm a PC gamer. Actually to be quite honest, I will probably end PC gaming until newer next gen based games start coming out.
There are many reasons that all coincide with each other, and they are all lengthy but I'll try to keep it short.
For one, the newer consoles will have more RAM, a newer DirectX API standard (11), and faster processing capabilities for more multi-threaded support. What does this do? Well to give you an example of how held back we are take a general look at this thread.

If you don't know what you are looking at I'll explain it in short and simple. The 6000+ was released about 6 years ago and has the same "gaming" capability as compared to the more modern 200 and 300 dollar quad core CPUs. At that same rate, because of consoles graphics capabilities are severely held back for PCs. PC gamers are stuck with console ports that look like crap, and if the port itself is crap the controls are weird or it is blatantly obvious that the game was made with only console in mind.
Game engines are being reused over and over again because you can only really advance texture compression so much for enhanced graphics before you reach an end. Because of this you get AAA titles that really bring nothing to the table in terms of "new" content and without extra engine capabilities that support newer and better AI interactions which require more resources you are yet again, held back by hardware limitations.
Developers are getting seriously lazy in terms of production because of attitudes like OP (no offense buddy) they can release something and people are still like "Oh this is great!". Or people who insist on buying each Call of Duty despite being rehashed nonsense. I was in actual jaw dropping shock when I heard Black Ops 2 will be a new engine with new everything. Matter a fact, I'm still in doubt.
To wrap it up, basically when you guys get your shiny new consoles, everybody wins. You guys get better games with more interaction, actual new material in terms of graphics and gameplay, and developers have NO excuse to hold back graphics capabilities for PC. Not only that, but it gives my fiance more work because she works directly with Walmart and Microsoft selling games and consoles in store.
