Developers wouldnt struggle, just because a system is more powerful doesnt mean the game has to be a graphic powerhouse, look at Minecraft on xbox360.

Pretty sure even if third party developers (the smaller ones) wont make the leap, I'm sure both Sony and Microsoft will with their next gen systems.

1.) Minecraft is a XBLA game. It is liek comparing apples and oranges.

2.) If next gen game by a big publisher,who can afford to loose money if the project failes makes the game look awesome, there would be pressure for other devs to try and step up their game to come close to matching it.

3.) The evidence is on the HD consoles now, Are there any games coming out now which look as bad as they did during launch? NO because people would not accept that.

1.) Digital is only going to become more relavent, so his Minecraft reference applies here.

2.) Yes, but eventually devs will realize there's a point where they don't have to improve graphics. They'll realize that consumers are fine at a certain level. Example: CoD this gen doesn't push consoles yet it's the HD consoles biggest IP. This reality alone should be enough that devs know they don't have to have cutting edge graphics.

3.) That's because developers simply become more knowledgable about the hardware, not because they feel pressured to have better graphics.
