Except for jump from 16-bit to 3D, for every gen it can be said that it's just prettier last gen, which is both true and not in the same time.

While many games are really just prettier versions of their previous incarnations, there are lot of things that are not possible on previous gen...I always like comparison of PC FarCry 1 and console version (FarCry Instincts) and how much they had to make it more linear due to hardware limitations.

So I guess, for some devs, next-gen is all about their games being purdier (nothing wrong with that, mind you), and for others it's about new possibilities.
