i think the wall is less about technology and more about humanity. compare Rachet and clank to super mario galaxy. does rachet and clank look better than super mario galaxy? well yes it does but how much better? the graphical jump from mario 3 to super mario world was amazing, the jump from super mario world to mario 64 was amazing. this newest generation just doesn't wow me. oh sure, i thought gears of war and bioshock were visually great and better than last generation but there just wasn't that wow factor anymore. i think that's why i play my wii soo much more than my xbox, motion controls are doing a lot more to make an impression then visuals.
oh and legend: compare UT to GoW. those character models look waay to simular to me.
