Guess I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but I feel like this could possibly set a rather bad precedent for console gaming. For the most part, I don't think it'd matter a whole lot since it's just better graphics, except in the case of multiplayer games. By introducing newer, better hardware, you're suddenly shifting the playing field for multiplayer games. Especially for games which require twitch reflexes, having hardware that would result in smoother gameplay at a higher framerate without the slowdown issues that are bound to happen when devs are now optimizing for two sets of hardware, suddenly gives an edge to players who have the money to shell out for the best hardware. This is still kind of an edge case anyways, but I guess it's just why someone like myself(who has a very limited budget when it comes to gaming) tends to prefer consoles. I can spend the money once and then not have to worry about it for 4-5 years when the next generation comes out.
