Really, how much farther can graphics go? I don't think Sony and Microsoft will want to spend that much money next generation ESPECIALLY if Nintendo's console is attractive price wise. Wii U's titles are still in development, expect them to be at least a little more polished once they actually release.

Photorealism and crossing the uncanny valley is the limit, and we are far from it.

A $300 console that breaks even would provide a very significant jump in graphics, $400 would be huge. 

If you want photorealism you have it. No I don't?

I don't understand why in the world you would want that type of game. It defeats it's purpose. Games aren't supposed to represent real life. They are supposed to let you escape from it. 

A video game that looks photorealistic, and is supposed to, would be a far more convincing world than a game that has a realistic art style, but doesn't look realistic, making escapism easier.

If a game has a realistic art style, but has shitty graphics, the shitty graphics are a constant reminder that it is in fact a video game, making escaping into it a lot harder.
