I think we're getting to the point of diminishing returns for graphics. I mean, the leap in graphics between 1996 and 2001 was far bigger then the leap between 2001 and 2007. Graphics have definitely improved, but it's more in adding detail (lighting effects, larger environments, etc). I'm pretty sure the next generation will completely close the gap between pre-rendered and real-time rendering, but after that, then what? I think the next big innovations will have to be in the interface (the wiimote is a start) and AI....
