720 and PS4 leading us to a multi core future?

Well considering that bf3 already uses 8 cores I'm going to say yes. I actually average above 75% usage on 5 of my threads in my i7. Plus more and more games are using 4 or more cores so in the next 3-4 years it could be 8 or more cores.

Your 4 core CPU should be ok into 2014, but you've seen the writing on the wall...I would start planning an upgrade next year for at least CPU and possibly MoBo (whether you're AMD or Intel will determine if MoBo is necessary, as AMD will still use AM3+ socket, where Intel sockets are all effectively dead)
We don't know your stance you made there. But you can use as many threads as there are processes within the program that need to be computes at once. That's not saying that it will be faster though. At least that's what I've read.
