Because with no secondary system like the 3ds anymore that means that the next Culdcept title will definitely be playable on the big screen again. It tends to release a title every 5 years or less so I am hopeful sometime in the next 2 years itll announce a title since Culdcept Revolt hit in oct 2017.
Yes Culdcept is a big deal and system seller overseas. It had its own dedicated Nintendo Direct and it also has had Goligan and its music featured in Smash Bros several times in different games.
Other than that...Killer Instinct, KOF, BFTG and Marvel. All other things are a happy extra.

Personally I'm not actually excited for Nextgen yet, but (!) I am super excited to see how this all will pan out. For the first time in ages, at least to me it feels like Xbox did almost everything right and is off to a fantastic start into a new generation. Sony being all secrety also makes it way more exciting than all this stuff has any reason to be lol. I'm curious about how much Sony has to undercut their initial price to compete, if that is even necessary to compete, what the hell Nintendo has up their sleeves, if there actually will be an Xbox Series V somewhere, when we finally will get the final reveals and more games and gameplay, how PC will go forward with those new NVidia cards, and so many other things.
So while I am in fact, excuse me OP, not at all exciting to get my hands on any of these things until like a year in maybe, I am still super excited to see how this jump will turn out for everyone else and for the generation as a whole. It's such a weird atmosphere surrounding all of this and this makes it more interesting to me.

Improved frame rates for games like Destiny 2 and Siege.
I'm more excited about that than any next gen game at the moment.

Just feels like both machines are so much more capable than the previous gen change. Looking forward to seeing what developers can cook up! I'm very much ready for 30fps to be a thing of the past on console too although that seemingly wont be the case
SSDs, faster loading is awesome. No more getting up to take a piss while an area is loading. Gotta keep a bottle handy now.
Pretty much everything except the graphics. Games already look good enough to me.
but to be more specific: short loading times, new controllers, better audio, (hopefully) new game design paradigms, better VR (this actually needs visual improvements). The unknown things that no one has thought about yet excites me

Finally getting rid of mechanical drives. I can't believe PS4/Xbox One were designed with mechanical drives in mind. Mechanical drives are one of the most serious bottlenecks in so many systems. We were so late in adopting SSDs in consoles we are going straight to M2 form factor.
Honestly, all the games that are coming out next-gen look absolutely fantastic. Even the ones that look like duds look great. And I'm not just talking about graphics (though they're fine as they are) but honestly gaming has improved since I started my hiatus away from gaming and I can't wait to see how it continues to improve.
Now, the business practices are shit, but they've always been that way.

Guilty Gear is only the beginning. How are all the next-gen fighting games going to look and feel compared to their current gen counterparts?
Especially now that they all seem to be receptive to crossplay and rollback.

Elimination of load times for me.
Just stuff like being able to fast travel with no loading sounds amazing to me.

Just the fact that we have a new, much more solid technical base for games is really exciting to me.
Especially, the presence of a good modern CPU and SSD (with a much more modern GPU architecture) makes me believe that it will remove tons of shackles in game design to deliver quality games. I still believe we are far from realizing how good it will be for the games we will play in a couple of years (with already good indications with some next-gen exclusives early on). This might not be something that will take form immediately, but I am confident we will see amazing things out of that, which were not possible with the old consoles as a baseline.
Next to that, those systems will give really options to make an even better general experience, with multiple « suspend and resumes » that you can cycle through almost instantly. That is great. And that is actually the part that really makes me want to jump in earlier.
The prospect of having improved controllers with new features (Dual Sense mostly in this case though) is great as long as devs use it well.

I feel like I've cared a little less about graphics capability as time has gone on with gaming. Not that I don't care it's just other QoL stuff I would care more about.
The loading times, the quick resume stuff between a bunch of games. It's also fun to get a new system UI with the new gens.

SSD and the DualSense are the biggest things for me aside from games. The SSD is a legitimate game changer and the DualSense form factor looks to be the best Sony has put into a controller. As much as I love their consoles, their controllers have always felt off to me. The DS4 was a step in the right direction but in comparison to the Xbox and Switch Pro controller it's still lacking in my opinion.
Basically everything, except the hassle of choosing when and how to pick up the new hardware. I want to pace myself, and I want good deals.
New generations are exciting. They mark a period of renewed competition and innovation. Lots of cool new shiny things to look forward to. And the games will only get better as devs become more familiar with the hardware, and the influence of the prior generation fades.

I like games and I want to play more games. New games will come out in the future and I'm excited for them.
Sort of feels like enough for me.
Oh, and I started ignoring like 300% more people since talk of next gen started and fanboys started becoming more obvious, so my Era experience has really improved!

Looking forward to a more modern user experience. I expect, nay demand, a super slick hiccup free UI. The CPU and SSD (PS5 especially) should mean jumping in and out of games and apps the same way I do on my phone. Stuff like capturing screenshot and clips and sharing them is really sluggish on my Pro right now, looking forward to features like that being instant and buttery smooth.
After that the DualSense sounds like a game changer for tactile interaction with my games at a level we've never experienced before.
And then after that is the games and experiences we're going to get a few years down the line. Stuff we simply cannot even imagine. I think the Unreal Engine 5 demo gave us a glimpse of that. Truly a new look and feel to game graphics that ups everything to a new level of realism and scale. Shit is going to be insane.

Whenever I play a game like TLOU 2, Bloodborne, Spiderman, I can't help but think "I can't even imagine what they will do with a 5 or 10 times more powerful hardware".
That's the main reason. It only gets better.
Talking about something specific, on PS5 I bet the IO throughput will be a game changer to the point that Nvidia and Microsoft needed to improvise their own.
But it can't be used on PC in efficient ways, due to the multiple PC tiers and configurations.
This particular PS5 spec makes me remember the times when consoles were clearly better than PCs for gaming.

I'm excited for how game design will change now that a lot of the bottlenecks from current gen have been eliminated or greatly reduced thanks to the new CPU tech and SSDs. I hope haptics will result in improved game feel, especially for combat focused games. I'm also excited for better sound.
Mostly I'm interested in seeing how all this will affect existing franchises I like and my experience with them, since my interest in new IPs is usually tech agnostic.
Sadly, all of this is tempered by the fact that Sony, MS, Nintendo et al are using components made in factories where Uighur slave labor exists.
Thankfully I don't really have a lot of money atm, which makes buying the new hardware easier to resist.

Load times and the Dualsense are what really excite me. The launch exclusives are the cherry on top.
Theres a difference between a gen and a launch.
For obvious reasons the launch is a bit muted and I feel so sorry for MS that halo had to be pushed (but also they shouldn't have only had one launch exclusive on the cards), but that would have been super exciting of spider man vs halo for the launch battle, especially with MS aggressive pricing.
But you gotta think about the next few years:
The SSD thing with PlayStation is a genuine gamechanger and is the first time for a long time we'll get games that couldn't be done on previous gen just at lower res.
Gamepass is really nestling in as this fantastic service that everyone respects and wants and I think will create new audiences and types of games.
DLSS 2.0/2.1 is astonishing on PC, and if its baked in a switch 2 could be an incredible leveller for multi platform ports and make switch2 an even more interesting platform.
VR tech is getting REALLY good (DLSS will help that too) and the price will come down as the fidelity goes up as more companies get involved with the tech
And even if youre not personally into streaming (I'm not, not really anyway) those services make the accessibility of gaming easier, which market bigger, which brings in more development and ultimately gives us more games
Its a fantastic time to be a gamer!

I've loved gaming on PC but I'll be happy to pick up a new console without worrying about my graphic card falling behind the times, looking forward to Elden Ring and Cyberpunk, haven't owned a Sony system since PS2 so that'll be cool.
