I doubt that the new Xbox or Playstation will be much of an improvement over the older ones.
The only way to make them better would be to support dual displays. .
I think there's still great room for improvement. They're hitting the limits of what they can do with the current hardware.
Most games on the 360 and PS3 only run 720p at most (sometimes less), at 30fps (and even then, most games have frame tearing and drops in frame rate). They're sacrificing fps smoothness and controller response for eye candy effects. 60fps games are rare, and true 1080p games are near non-existent. Both consoles are only capable of fairly crude anti-aliasing (the 360 is slightly better at this), aren't too great at doing dynamic shadows, could use more memory for textures and they just don't have the horsepower to be able to do the kinds of particle and dynamic lighting effects and environment destruction/deformation that modern PCs can.
And we still see the limitations of the storage in these games, especially in open world games, eg games with draw distance issues and texture pop-in (eg, check out Rage on the PS3 and Skyrim on both consoles). Both consoles would benefit from faster/better storage and more RAM.

I've had every newer system, rarely played them other than a few select games, sold them all and now am back to playing my original modded xbox. Sure the games look good, but it's not worth a few hundred dollars to me. Definitely not worth the $500+ price tag at launch.how can you say the leap from ps2-ps3 is a small hop. same said for xbox - 360.. they have come a longggg way. Look at gran turismo 3 compared to 5.. look at the first cod to black ops or w/e
the problem there seems to be is that with a pc, you can always add newer items like a video card and memory and such. I doubt any console will allow for that much change.
