Its not the same story every gen. Those were some half assed first year 360 games, so i understand where that guy was coming from. On the ps3 you would be hard pressed to find the same issue.
It seems its difficult to understand, but you are projecting yourself, and thats where your analysis goes wrong. You are a gamer ofc you can spot the differences. But, ask yourself this: Would your mum be able to spot the difference?
Your own consumer group, just like mine, is the early adopters. This issue will rear its ugly head when the time comes to appeal to the average consumer. Wether you recognise it or not, it will be a difficult sell and its in no way on the same league of an article from last gen that evyone ignored. THe problem is quite real, and no ammount of ridiculous articles can disprove what is clear for everyone with eyes.
Its dificult to justify the price of the upgrade with just that much visible improvement.

My father in law mistook GT4 for real 2 generations ago, ofcourse the tvs were much smaller back then. Same thing now, you might not see that much of a difference on a 40" tv in the living room on a cross gen title, I see a big difference on my setup. Yes YouTube videos and demo pods are currently pretty much maxed out for showing improvements clearly.
And since when does the average consumer buy based on graphics? They want the new thing, with the latest games.
Let's continue this discussion in 3 to 5 years while 4K tvs are making their way into the average consumer's homes and new graphics engines have been developed.

Erm... you are thinking these average consumers just want to throw their money away. You are incorrect. They do care about their money (well, the ones that arent absolutely dumb anyways). If they already have an XB360 and they look at X1 and dont see a difference they will think: Eh? I already have that, i dont see a difference. /pass
But alright. Let us see how things happen once again. One year isnt enough for you to get the head from under the sand it seems. ^^
