The graphics leap was good but not that big like from the ps1 to ps2 and from ps2 to ps3

Yes, it was. 

No. It factually wasn't. Compare Gran Turismo and The Last of Us on PS3 with the best PS4 (will) have and this becomes obvious. The Pro is in a better place, but the vanilla PS4 only got around to showing anything significantly different in its 4th year of existence.

I've seen a lot of console generations. I wouldn't call PS3 to PS4 a graphical leap. It's a marginal graphical improvement. NES to SNES? That was a graphical leap. PS1 to PS2? That was a graphical leap. Even PS2 to PS3 was a graphical leap, but half of that leap was due to people going from terrible composite cables to a really good HDMI cable. PS3 to PS4 is a mild improvement. It's nice, but I barely care.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Not only colours improved a lot but the fixed textures, like trees, floor and some materials are photo realistic now. PS3 wasn't like that. The jump in texture + lightning is jaw dropping.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

I think the PS3's improvement over the PS2 was immediately noticeable. The problem the PS3 had was that people were expecting it to dwarf the Xbox 360 the way the PS2 did to the Dreamcast. When people saw Gears of War 1 up against Resistance Fall of Man, it left a bad taste in their mouths. A game as beautiful as Heavenly Sword couldn't be downplayed!

That was more human error than a hardware issue, though. Resistance, while a decent enough looking game for its time, just wasn't the knockout punch they needed. In fact, until Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, in my eyes, Gears held that crown. Outside of Fight Night Round 3 and Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis, nothing had quite "wowed" me like Gears. 

That said, I'll tell you what the problem is. In the past, new games had that "hook", to immediately remind you that you were indeed in the next generation. Games like Fight Night and Oblivion were early testaments of what last gen was capable of, but for some reason, to many, Ryse and Killzone: Shadowfall just didn't quite cut it. But, y'all will see. Next gen launch games will bring back that "wow, THIS is next gen". Hold me to it!

I'll hold you to it.

I love the results we have this and even last gen, but is natural to be expecting for the next big jump.

That will be the highest jump between sequel since ever, perhaps only Battletoads could be over it.

I actually agree with everything you said, 100%.

It kinda scares me.

I dunno man I just think people get too jaded about graphics.

When I was a kid I was absolutely floored when I saw Motorstorm for the first time. And then God of War 3 looked like magic.

And then I got impressed by the character models in Mario Hoops 3 on 3, and like how their knees bent on a DS game. And then I was holy shit when I saw how fine the sand looked in Gerudo Dessert in Twilight Princess.

I was still impressed by the PS4 jump. Y'all see the leaves in Ghost of Tsushima? They looked so good I could smell them
