Wii U has the added appeal with it's controller. If PS4/XB3 had graphics on par with Wii U then Wii U would offer a more complete experience. So naturally PS4 and XB3 should be noticbly more powerful then the Wii U. Maybe not as extreme as this gen, but they should show a noticable jump in graphics.

Most gens come with graphical jumps of 100%, but lately developing games has become a much more costly buisness. If we jump 100% again we may see something similar to the drought of games PS360 had untill fall 2007, and even then it was only 360 getting good games. Remember how PS2 and Gamecube had great games from day 1?  Soo 100% and 50% are out of the question.

I voted 80%. Most people have LCD TV's capable of 1080p resolution, and if they don't they at least can run 720p. We need something that can run 1080p with 60 FPS minimum, day 1. ideally we want games running at 120 FPS now, so we can actually put some use to the resolution of many $500 tv's.

With an 80% jump in graphics, PS4/XB3 will be noticably better looking then Wii U, yet not too expensive to develop for, and at the same time run a smooth 1080p 60 FPS from day 1. This is why we bought HD TV's, lets put them to use.

P.S. I find most next gen games look like the cinematics to prior gens. So PS1 cinematics look like PS2 games (take FFVII cinematics, not that far off from FFX gameplay. Same with Driver 1 and 3). If this holds true, that 30 second teaser trailer of Halo 4 should be what we should expect Halo for XB3 to look like. Same with Final Fantasy, and Gran Turismo.


For games with the graphics of Uncharted 3 to run at 1080p and 60fps (with no added detail) you would need at least a 4x jump in power...
