IMO for now the 8th gen just feels like Gen 7 2.0. Only very few games like Fifa could be shared between Gen 6 and Gen 7. PS360 could achieve things that were impossible before, even the Wii with its unique controller did so, too. But eighth gen is basically the same with better graphics. Most games can be ported to last gen, they simply have to chop off the visuals and everything will work well... In glorious 720p sub-30FPS, of course, but well nonetheless.
I think both PS4 and Xbox One should've been a bit more powerful than what the PS4 is, and thus making 1080p a standard. PS360 back then were on par with high-end PCs, but that isn't the case with PS4 and Xbox One. The power difference between a 2005/6 system and a 2013 one is quite noticeable but still the new gen doesn't achieve anything crazy impressive. I'm not asking for 4K gaming, but it would've been nice to have 1080p @ perfectly stable 30FPS as a minimum in all games. Instead, all we have is "hurr durr resolution hurr durr fps hurr durr gameplay hurr durr pc master race", just watch a Digital Foundry video and check for yourself. The community is incredibly toxic. The argument between PS3 and 360 was somehow fun because they both were almost equal, and thus it all came down to the games. But now... Every gaming site I go is just a sad pixel war.
What has gaming come to, really.
