Compared that to the jump from SMB1 to SMB3 level of perceived difference no, it is minimal changes.

Okay I get your point but graphics aren't everything FM4 also plays a lot better then FM2.  SMB3 only plays slightly better then SMB1 but too me both games where way too hard for my liking.  Also in the case of Sonic 3D Blast the huge upgrade in graphics actually hurt the game play a lot.  It plays nowhere as good and fluid as the previous Sonic games.  Not even the Saturn version of the game plays a lot better.  

Yep the OP is more about graphics.

But even if we were looking at all aspects. Even the big jumps inside the 7 year previous gen would seem minimal compared to the ones on 8 or 16 bit era, I would say that diminishing returns is a thing not exclusively for graphics.
