Are graphics really going to be that much better next gen?

I think it will. Killzone and inFAMOUS already show what my platform of choice can do, and they are launch and launch window titles, respectively. The 360 didn't provide me with any reasons to 'jump in' the then next gen until Gears of War. All of the platform's games prior to that looked only a cut above the then current gen's offerings (if all that). And look how far we have come with the 360. Halo 4 is worlds apart from Perfect Dark 0, and God of War Ascension puts titles like Genji 2 to shame. Another thing to note ... the original Xbox had a very short lifespan, so I''m inclined to think if they continued to develop for it the 'gap' would have seemed smaller. It was largely untapped, in my view (relative to the system's in this gen which was the longest). With that said, I think my $400 purchase will be justified. =D
