Nah. You see, with these mid-gen refreshes, not only are they not powerful enough to warrant a next gen label, but they are also being held back somewhat by their OG counterparts. No exclusives for either one. Improved textures, resolution, AA, and shadows are about all you are going to get. That's nothing to sneeze at, mind you. However, next gen those should improve even more, as will environmental interaction. And for the most part, these mid-gen systems are stuck using the same character models and environment geometry as the OG systems, where next gen those things should be improved incredibly. The same goes for draw distances. Slightly improved mid-gen, but much better next gen.

It's really why some PC gamers with really expensive rigs hate consoles, as most devs are making the games targeting them, with the PC basically getting ports. Sure, like the Pro and Scorpio the things mentioned above are improved for them, but not to the extent they could be. It's really why we get those graphics mods for PC.
