Unless something radical happens we will see a continual evolution of hardware. A faster CPU, more cores, faster GPU probably with more cores there, some merging of CPU and GPU, etc. But all of this just equals greater performance for a cheaper cost with each evolution.

Next generation of monitors will probably be OLED based. You can do some fancy stuff with that potentially including curved surfaces and transparent monitors (until they are turned on). But it's the "same" as before.

So end result is a more graphically rich and more sophisticated (physics, sound, etc.) sim but nothing ground breaking. It's always just +1.
