People are still not getting it. There will not be an enormous leap in consoles this upcoming generation. The only big jump/improvement will be the WiiU, going from DVD based to HD. There is absolutely no surprise that the Nextbox could only be 20% more powerful than WiiU.

We have hit the roadblock this upcoming generation, games will only be able to put out 1080P graphics, because that's the best televisions we have now. The successor to 1080P televisions could be years away.

You can add as much CPU, GPU RAM, Processor all you want, the end result will be 1080p games. Sure the games will be sharper, bigger and 60fps....but the difference will not be as much as some people expect/hope.

4K TVs will be available this year and with a 6x more powerful console games would still be 720p for the most part...

Also you can have 2 games at the same resolution and framerate and one look 10x better than the other, you talk as if resolution is the only thing that increases...

Well you must have not read what all I wrote. If you would have you would have seen I put sharper games, bigger etc. The funny thing is I knew someone would write what you just did.

I love how the amazingly rich people come on here and act as though buying a brand new standard television and gaming console is nothing. Even though most people have just upgraded to blu-ray/1080p. You think people are going to rush out to get a brand new 4k T.V already.

My point is that the jump will not be anything mindblowing. And people simply cannot afford to pay top dollar for gaming consoles anymore. Just look at 3DS and Vita bothoth are great but people wont pay the price because we are living in hard times. The big 3 will pay attention to this and will make the consoles as affordable as possible. 

By the way I dont (talk as if resolution is the only thing that increases) I talk as if there are many factors other then new 4k televisions. And there is no way in hell Sony and Microsoft is going all out just to lose more money again.

Off topic....sorry some keys on my laptop are not working...quote, question etc :(
