I don't know what exactly people are expecting Sony and MS's next console graphics to look like, but I can guarantee they won't look that much better than Wii U. Sure there will be a huge gap in horsepower as there was this gen, but graphics are getting to the point where there won't be that big of a noticable change to the human eye, at least not to warrant the extra money their next consoles will probably cost. At best, you'll get probably more enemies on screen at once, and detailed shaders/textures and things like that. 

People keep saying this over but it's simply not true. Graphics could improve SO much it's (ironically) unbelievable. Not only the graphics, but also physics can be drastically improved (seriously, physics today in games are mostly crap or nonexistent), AI (same here...) and so on. We are nowhere close to the top leve.


Graphics can improve, absolutely. A real improvement would be Avatar-like graphics on home consoles/PCs. But, the next-generation simply can't deliver it. Battlefield 3 PC, for example, looks nice, surely, but, really, it's no generational leap. And, by the looks of it, no "next-gen" game will have substantially better graphics than that game, based on the specs of the PS4/Nextbox. Also, Physics and AI could improve, but to make this happen, the amount of money invested on creating the technology would be way beyond most game companies can pay, even if the console has the power to make improved physics and AI happen.
