Things We want in the next generation

1- Free Online Gaming On All Consoles:

Online gaming is a very important feature of now a days games, it's also a huge game and console seller,which means the manufacturer will gain more money from selling more devices just because there are couple of kick-ass online games, so why charge for it? especially if your competitors provide the same quality of service for free.

2- More Famous Actors/Musicians:

This current generation witnessed the presence of few famous stars But my personal favourite was " Danny Trejo " the guy is just amazing, There was also a rumour that Eminem would be the lead in GTA 5 but i guess that turned out not to be true. Believe it or not people will actually buy a game they don't like so much because there is a famous star in it,not only actors but they could actually bring some famous musicians for soundtracks , imagine if you play GTA and the voice of Jay Z in the car radio or the game menus. It will be huge seller and would make some games more popular, and it will be worth it.

3-Upgradable Consoles:

If home consoles industry remains as it is it will always be few steps behind PC,right now as i write these words PC gaming has officially put both feet into the next-gen. era while current consoles started to age, it's not fare that PC gamers can enjoy more futuristic pretty version of "Battlefield 3" regarding graphics and online players capacity than consoles gamers not to mention Crysis 2. Manufacturers can come up with some practical way to make consoles upgradable after like 3 years of release date to make it last another 3 years in order to raise the actual life cycle, make all versions of consoles and PC equal and exactly the same and of course they can gain more money. SONY announced earlier they are aiming to give the Playstation 3 a 10 years life cycle, it's been only 5 and it's already getting old comparing to PC.

4-Consoles shipped with standard accessories:

Nintendo started that by shipping with a stand, Microsoft followed by shipping certain models with a headset,SONY did nothing, both aren't even shipping with an HDMI cable which is highly recommended for playing games on both consoles, instead they are shipping with the useless composite cable.We need to see consoles shipped with more accessories which in fact a very important tools for the user and not just extras such as the HDMI cable - Headset - chargeable battery ( if both Microsoft & Nintendo will continue to use battery based controllers ) and it would be nice if all companies shipped their consoles with a stand and one extra controller, they would still gain more money of selling those same accessories in the future and will gain users respect.

5-Disc Changer:

It might cost more money and makes a console bigger and heavier but it's actually a very nice feature to have, in current consoles you can turn them on or off while you are setting comfortably on you couch, but what if you want to change the game ?! and don't tell me they could just solve that by converting to digital download games because that's not going to replace physical discs any time soon.
