Right so because the PS1 was better than the SNES, that means we didn't need the PS2 or 3....

The post-Sony conference hype shows that graphics are appealing to many gamers, somthing devs recognise is important to gaming as a whole. 

"In your eyes"....eyes that have never seen cutting edge graphics. Come back when you literally aren't, and I mean this again in the literal sense, so ignorant on the topic. The issue is you are trying to criticise something you have never, ever seen. Ignorance is not an argument. 

If I, having been a gamer since my young age, having been on gaming forums and exposed to threads that compare graphics, if I can't get it, do you expect the masses to?

If I'm ignorant on the matter, then I am just guessing that the market is not much more informed than I am, so sorry.

@bold. Again, diminishing returns. Back then the jump made a big difference. Not as much today, despite all you guys have said this far the differences between games like TLoU and the Killzone demo will only be truly visible to those who know the differences thanks to theory on 3D grahpics, or who are looking at excrutiating detail.

Let's not get ad hominem.

Yes I do because they do. Did you not see the people who enjoyed the PS4 demos? Graphics are the new in-thing. I've been gaming for years and I get it, but I can afford to keep up with it and have been exposed to it whereas you are arguing from a point of complete ignorance. 

Come back when you have actually experienced cutting edge graphics. And no, you simply are relectuant to spend cash on graphics. Others are not and happily will pay for prettier games. 
"Those that know the difference" - you mean those with eyes? If you can't see the difference clearly then I honestly advise you to see an optician asap. Or stop bullshitting. We are accustomed as humans to recognise what is real and what isn't, ergo everyone will notice when things don't look real, and the 7th gen is miles away from being photorealistic. Therefore improvements will be noticed by everyone. I will pt it down to financial reasons why you are being stubborn on this topic.
