PS2 still had a big jump though.  That MGS2 demo looked unlike anything we'd seen on Dreamcast and it came out before Gamecube and Xbox so they couldn't prove they could do better.  It was a NEXT GEN system spec wise as in it was above Saturn, Psone, and N64 by a very significant margin.  Wii on the other hand wasn't that far above PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube so it deservidly gets bashed for its tech.  PS4 may not be above xbox and I don't care if it is just like I didn't care if PS3 was above 360.  I only care if it's a leap over the current gen which I think it will be and give those amazing first party studios a big jump to work with.

Fair enough.

Some fans just won't stop bragging about having the very best graphics, and I'm glad you and I agree that that's just silly.

To anyone who's obsessed with graphics capabilities I always say

Q: you enjoyed gaming on PS1/N64/PS2/Gamecube/etc.  Those systems don't look good compared to current gen.  Does this make every game that you loved on them not enjoyable anymore?

A: Well no

Q:  Oh but I thought it needed to have the best graphics?  By your logic every system and game that isn't cutting edge isn't as enjoyable as a system that is.  You believe it is inferior.  Therefore every generation just gets better than the one before and every game in 720p is better than every game in 480p.

A: ...

The ironic thing is that most of these same people want BC in their new console and say their favorite game ever is something from the N64 or SNES era lol I honestly think people just lose sight of how ridiculous that kind of position is.
