Do you think that the jump from the PS360 to PS4/720 will be as large as the from ps2/xbox's jump to this gen was? Or will it be smaller. I personaly think that the next gen HD consol will be a significant jump from this gen the same as or even more than the jump from last gen.

It absolutely will.
The time between last gen and this gen was 5.5 years (the PS2 kicked off last gen in March 2000 and the X360 in Nov 2005)
This time around the difference will most likely be a whole 8 years between generations (from X360 in Nov 2005 to the Xbox 3 in Nov 2013). Even if next gen consoles might be designed slightly less powerful relatively speaking, those extra 2.5 years of improved graphics tech will make up for that and then some more, and ensure that the jump will be huge. At minimum it will be a 16 times increase in raw computing power from the X360 to the Xbox 3.
In late 2013 the most powerful PC GPUs on the market will be Radeon 9970s and Geforce GTX 880s, which will probably be at least twice as fast as the fastest single-GPU card today, the GTX580, and next gen console GPUs will be loosely based on those.

So do you think the PC graphics jump from Crysis to now has been as large as that from 2000-Crysis?

No, but what kind of a logic is behind that question?
2000 to Crysis is 200 to 2007 = 7 years.
Crysis to now is late 2007 to early 2011 = 3.5 years
Most importantly though Crysis the game mostly reflects evolution of graphics software tech (and a huge leap at it) rather than hardware tech, and there's simply been no better PC engine released yet. Usually graphics engines come in 4-5 years incrementations (is that a word?), almost as seldom as console hardware generations. Like UE3 is already 5 years old. id Tech 4 is already over 6 years old while id Tech 5 is not even out in a playable game. Source engine is almost 7 years old and we haven't even heard of a new iteration still.
Maybe i totally misunderstood your question Khuutra?
