People need to understand a few things first We are at a point now where we are not going to see great graphical differences between consoles like with did with going from the Gen 5 to Gen 6 (Biggest leap IMO) or Gen 6 to 7 (big leap again). Thing is while Gen 6 IMO showed us the biggest leap ( I will never forget Sonic Adventure on DC) Gen 7 gave us consoles that were a head of there time as we seen great leaps in processing power (Dual/Quad core cpu's) and happens to be one of the main reasons why we probably don't really see a HUGE difference like we are used to seeing in the past as last gen is still pretty relevant.
With Gen 8 we are going to see more of a refinement in how games look rather then huge differences. These refinements will come in the form of better AI, effects and physics. I am all for that as I am really happy with how games look but I want more realistic effects seen in gen 7 that were MUCH better then the previous gen but still left me wanting a little more.
The last place anyone should go to for gaming information or opinions is Forbes... they have proven they understand very little about the industry and through there unfounded opinions around as though they should be taken as fact.
What really gets me is how he does not make reference to console parity that we seen with Destiny (the most popular example) and other games also... You look at games like Infamous: SS and while they could have been done on Gen 7 hardware it would have not looked nearly as good same with Killzone.
It's fine to have an opinion but if you are writing for Forbes you need to do better, this was horrible, however it did show a great example of talking out of your ass.
