Why do so many people think that the new ps4/720 games will be some insane graphical leap.

I mean all you have to do is look at the top of the line computer games and nobody is shitting their pants over them compared to the top of the line console games.

Regardless what rumors or whatever says I'm sure the Wii U is at least on par with the PS3 at minimum.

Now I'm not saying that the ps4/720 won't be more powerful by a huge or small margin. But just look at first generation 360/ps3 games. They look like total shit compared to current 360/ps3 games. The same will be true for next generation. The launch games and early games of the 720/ps4 will look at best like the top of the line pc games, which as I said before aren't that much of a difference.

And yes I have a top of the line pc and can play any game at max settings. No game I have is making me go OMG i can't believe how shitty the ps3 and 360 are. I easily switch between playing all three and never think even on the graphics.

If the Wii U and the ps4/720 are as different at wii and 360/ps3, you won't see that for a few years after their release. They will be near identical in the beginning.

 

 

New hardware doesn't mean games magically become graphical god's.  The designers, engineers, artists, programers, you name it all still have to make those graphics.  And that takes time, and time means money.  They want to pump out games quickly, thus why they will SLOWLY make their games more visually appealing and physics better as they go.  Again look at first gen 360 games and just laugh at how poor they were.
