I'm having trouble remembering which PS3 (or 360 game) looked "several times better" than PC games of 2005/06, for example. In fact, I don't remember any new console games like that.  


What I meant was that it use to be when a new console launched, for a little while, it was as powerful as a top of the line PC rig. Not anymore.

Well, to do so would mean having to create expensive pieces of equipment. Was it worth it last gen?

Despite that, I still don't recall any launch games walking laps around the best looking PC titles. Ever.

You and I both know the reason behind games not looking amazing at launch and, yes, it's worth it and always has been. When a console is that much more advanced from the one that came before it, it creates the kind of excitement that was missing this time. I remember reading the first impressions of the PS4 unveiling on IGN's PS4 page. I think it was Greg who opened up his article with something like, let's just get this out of the way. It's now obvious that we'll never see another huge graphical jump between generations again. The days of being "wowed" when a new console comes out are over.
