movie industry has real humans as actors and real environment as long as it isn't a computer movie so there is no need to get better graphics for humans or faster fps or whatever. for consoles you need more techniques to get better iq, better physics, more fps, more people at the same time on one screen and so on to let your vision come true.

all of this does only count for computer rendered movies and i'm pretty sure those guys would complain as much if not more if they would always have to use the same computers to create their movies and if movies would still look like toy story 1.

and if a director would like to make a new braveheart and someone would tell him he can only get 50 for a huge battle i'm pretty sure he would complain about it as well.

Look at some of the biggest titles this generation, as far as buzz, building a fan base, and being relevant.  You have Minecraft and also Angry Birds.  These titles do not require huge horsepower.  You also see that people are opting for tablets and smart phones over the likes of the Vita.  The shift is away from the home.  With this trend, then why would there be thinking that increased horsepower is what is needed?  Heck, even the DS platform isn't graphically intensive.

yes and that is enough for some gamers but not for other and some developers are those who make games for people who don't want to play games like this. and it's not as if everyone who makes a cheap smartphone game is successful and you should also not believe that smartphone games will look as simple in 10 years as they do right now. smartphone players would also start to ask for something new after a while. at the moment the games we have right now are enough for people who play on these devices but that doesn't mean that they think it is still good in 10 years.

and it's not as if we wouldn't have the same for phones or do you think snake would be the same success nowadays for a smartphone as it was for the 3210?

advancement is something humans always want, if that wouldn't be the case we would still drive with cars from 1900 and live in tents.

developers want new consoles to make new games for guys like me who lost a little bit the interest in console gaming the last year or so. if we would have the same consoles in 2020 almost nobody would play with them anymore.
