It's nothing new. Even back in the Atari/Colecovision?Intellivision days each new console was all about better graphics. Coleco said they had the best, Intellivision said they had the best and Atari released the 5200 as a successor to the VCS 2600 to compete. The same was true the with Master System, NES, and Atari 7800. And it was true again with the Genesis, Turbo Grafx-16, and SNES. There has not been a single generation that has used the promise of better graphics as a war-cry.
But I do agree with. Rumors, of all kinds, should be taken with a grain of salt. I like reading all the rumors, but I don't dwell on them. It's fun to speculate, but it's not worth getting excited about until the official announcements hit.
People get all worked up over rumors and then when they turn out to be not true some people feel betrayed because they didn't get what they expected or wanted to believe.
