Well, if people are really willing to spend £500 or whatever it will cost for this new console, then so be it, especially when most of the games will only be minor improvements over what we see now.

I'm fine with the current level of graphical fidelity. We need new ways to play and more engrossing games, rather than pushing the pixel count.

At first, yes. Games will basically just be touched-up PS3/360 versions of games. It will take about 2 years until Ps4 and 720 become lead platforms for games.

Just look an Xbox 360 launch title like Call of Duty 2, and compare it to the newest one, Modern Warfare 3. 

Yes, but overall the graphical gap will be much smaller than this current gen over last. As such, they'll be minor improvements, and certainly not PC levels.

I'm not sure I like it if this is the way gaming will end up. We need more games which look like this:

Not this:


I agree the graphical leap won't be as big as from SD to HD but it will still be substantial. It won't be minor like you keep saying.

Unreal Engine 4 needs about 10x current gen power to run. We know next-gen consoles will run that. I'm assuming the 10x is for 1080p UE4 support so we can see 6-8x powerful consoles running UE4 games at 720p. My guess is that the Wii U will take this route.
