All i'm seeing here is Wii U propaganda
Saying things don't make them true you know
This whole "jump is smaller" thing is nonsense. You can't take the consoles and just place them next to current PCs. This gen the jump is bigger, you know why? Because last gen lasted too long. The consoles were last year more outdated than the other gen ever was. THAT's how you measure a generational jump.

Actually that ain't correct.
PS3/X360 were more powerful than high end PCs at the time of their release. They were also a lot more expensive at the time of their release than PS4/X1 are today even though they were sold at a loss.
PS4/X1 equal medium PCs at best, and even though they are cheaper than PS3/X360 were at the beginning they are sold at a profit.
PS4/X1 are already outdated at the time of their release.
Bolded part also isn't true. I mean if you talk about raw hardware it probabily is, but that's not how you measure a generational leap. SNES to PS1/N64, PS1/N64 to PS2/GC/Xb, PS2/GC/Xb to PS3/Wii/X360 all had bigger leaps than you had this generation. 3D gaming, HD gaming, motion controls, etc all implemented big leaps in past gaming generations. Now all you have is better lightning and textures, and console manufacturers didn't event bothered to build high-end consoles to really improve those textures at the highest standards of today's technology.

In order to maintain the same sized gap in graphical output the new consoles would need to grow exponential more powerful and more expensive and they would quickly price themselves out of the market.
How many people would have bought an $800 PS4?

I'm not sure you know what law of diminishing returns is...
Even if the bolded part was true, which we don't have data to know if it is or not, you're saying exactly what I did, the leap was smaller this gen.
