Of course each generation will be more powerful than the previous, but only because the parts are cheaper, so you obviously get more power. 

But devs want to be able to do more things with the HW, to attract more customers. Power only increases costs, whereas input increases inginuity. And there's yet to be (I believe) a most powerful console of a gen which sells the most units; certainly not as of late. So power clearly isn't the most important factor.

It's all about the games.

Oh my god. If it was all about the games, we'd be at the NES right now. What do you mean by it's all about the games, you mean as in giving better games due to technical improvements??

The same can be said about graphical and technical power (the Wii motion and the WiiU controller are also thanks to some very powerful hardware, especially the WiiU), so it goes both ways. Camon.
