If a "next gen" game is also on ps3/x360 (ala Destiny) Is it really Next Gen?

advance warfare is cross gen

I never said it wasn't :p I was pointing out the huge visual jumps we've already been seeing in the next gen. Hence why using current cross gen titles as a reference for the capabilities of the 8th gen systems doesn't make much sense.

AW still isn't exactly the best looking game ever, but next gen platforms being the lead has done wonders for it. It will still be relatively close to the 7th gen, but a bigger jump than we saw with Ghosts.

Then you have ACU which looks downright amazing. A tad unstable at present (understandably, given how many character models they're trying to use simultaneously), but still amazing.

If COD AW isn't one of the best looking games, neither is ACU, EA ufc or any other "next gen" exclusive title. You just said AW is big jump over ghosts and yet it still available for last gen consoles. For me, last gen holding back is just a lame excuse to the developers make less work and force people to purchase the "next gen" hw. The real problem is that this generation isn't capable enough to improve during its lifetime like the  previous generations
