I'm thinking a lot about this nowadays, mainly because of this picture:
Before when we bought a new console and invested hundreds of bucks, the results were worth it as graphically each generation made a huge jump (as you can see with Beethoven above), and games became more complex and original because of the extra power.
And whilst this is still the case (games will look better on PS4 and Xbone), the differences are less dramatic. At to that equation that we have a huge library of great games on PS3 and 360 already which sell cheap as the focus is on those shiny next gen consoles now, and you might wonder like myself if it is worth it to go next gen in 2015, or just focus on the collection we have now and make sure we finish those first.
I have probably 10 or so great games laying around (who are great both graphically and gameplay wise), that i started playing but i didn't even finish 30% of them due to time constraints, and there's loads more laying in the bargain shelve of the local game store that i haven't even bought yet ('the last of us' is only one example).
I think i'm gonna wait it out and focus on what i have, than having to invest 400+ for better eye candy. Benefits of this is when i eventually do make the switch in 2016-17, the consoles will be cheaper and i will have an extensive library of next gen games laying ready for me in those very same bargain shelves.
