Arguably the 4th to 5th generation (SNES-N64) or the 6th to 7th generation (PS2-PS3) had much, much bigger leaps. These games will look nicer and run smoother, yes, but will it really be as big a leap from a gameplay perspective as 2D-3D or SD-HD? I really don't think so, and I don't expect anyone else does either.

Well, as I'm trying to convey, it may not be apparent to the average person, but the leap from the 7th-to-8th may actually be bigger than the PS2-to-PS3.

From a graphical and technological standpoint, I'd agree. But from a gameplay standpoint, I don't.

 

So it depends on which side and on what you consider "next-gen" to be.
