Well, I think that we're not going to be only pushing for better graphics, more power can be applied for higher Anisotropic Filtering, shading and better dynamic shadows. I think 8xAA is all we need but more time may go into dynamic animations and other things to make the games feel more real and believable. It's also true that a console would have no background programs straining it, so all that raw power goes straight to the game. I'm fine with my PS3's visuals now and if anything I'd rather have much more dynamic gameplay, or even more realism. I hope Microsoft will buckle down with a Blu-Ray drive & disc or make their own like Nintendo has with the Wii U, because DVD is only holding us back. With newer 8x read-speed Blu-Ray drives, there will be no need for installing content anymore; so you can pack up a dual-layer 50GB Blu-Ray and not worry at all. I do agree with the old engine statement, because even console started out on a rough patch without heavily upgraded or new engines. If you look at Call of Duty 4 and then Modern Warfare 3 the change is huge. Newer engines are making the visuals fresh and new. We'll see what happens, I don't think they're too far away.
