Well console gaming, if this is the direction we're really moving in, I may have to skip out on the next generation.

PS4 Rumours

I think I can be quite content building up my catalog of PS3 and Wii games and running on that for another 5 to 10 years. Even my PS2 catalog has room for more titles; I never did get around to playing Black.

Control. Sony and Microsoft appear to want to help themselves and developers to take away more control from the players. And many would agree that when it comes to games, the controls are most the important thing.

"According to the Kotaku piece, the new hardware will seek to control the pre-owned games market. The site's source says that game purchases via Blu-ray disc or PSN will be locked to a specific console which will need to remain online while playing; those who buy second-hand titles may only be able to access a trial version of the content, with the option of paying for a full registration. This reflects rumours of the forthcoming Xbox console, apparently codenamed Durango, which will allegedly also seek to restrict the trade in used titles with similar lock-outs."

Well, since Nintendo isn't mentioned in the article maybe the Wii U will be the saviour... maybe.
