Sweetspot of graphics? Or Fiction

As technology improves, so does our possibility and skill to achieve better visual and audiovisual imagery, so the roof of game graphics is basically that of technology itself. There will be a cross soon I think, where everyday optics will be too damn poor to make full use of our potential visual peak, kind of like making HD games for SD TV's.
PC games will have a lot better visuals next gen, compared to previous gens, simply because of the incredible advantages the optics and hardware provide (when compared relatively to consoles and the gap between them I mean).

 

I always figured that PC and Console graphics would get closer and closer, as the generations progressed and diminishing returns hit.
