Just raise the price for PS4/Xbox³ games to $70 and third parties will try to push the new consoles, which wouldn't even be unfair since that would correspond exactly with the inflation rate.

Raising the prices will be even worse. People will have to buy a $400+ console and a $70 game. It doesn't matter if the games looks like Avatar, most people will not throw that much cash for a single game. Especially if you can buy the same game (only with "uglier" graphics) for only $60 with a console you already own, plus all your friends will be on the PS360. 

No that's the decision of the third parties. If they would like you to buy the $70 version they will try to lure you by either giving the $70 game more content OR decrease the quality of the $60 by a bit and with that I'm not only talking about worse graphics.

Either way the same point stands. Given the games popularity in the current gen consoles, if Activision decides to make a next-gen version with a lot of content (obviously more than just graphics) most people will not care about those contents, I honestly can't see someone paying that much cash (a new console + CoD) for a single game (unless of course you are an extreme hardcore CoD fan, but those are a minority). If the game is exclusive then that's a very different scenario, but then again it doesn't make sense financially to ignore the PS360 crowd.
