However, i'm certain none of my ilk really care about facebook, twitter, etc, integraion. I suppose introducing all this is more for the current teenager demographic, but didn't realize they were the key users of social media either.
in any case, i only really care about 2 or 3 elements when considering the next gen:
1) $$$ - I was a PS2 guy, but the cheaper 360 option made the jump easier to do , and one i have been satisfied with.
2) Game quality/enhancements - sounds like the actual quality will be the same ( don't play any games that are limited to a single console, and don't see much difference of a game between consoles like NHL).
3) this Always online garbage.

I honestly don't know one person who uses social media with their gaming system. To me 3 things matter:
1) $$$, though less than it once did. It pisses me off though to have to pay just to use it online. $60 a year for the 5-10 year life cycle is another $300-600
2) familiarity (used to using the ps3 now), but for the right reasons I'd switch
3) What my friends have. The odd time I want to play NHL, etc with my friends is like to have the same system
