Is this Gen of Consoles just WEAK?

I think this generation is the death of graphics - as in, people are starting to no longer be impressed by great looking games anymore. I'd say any console that attempts to be just a more powerful version of its predecessor in the next generation will fail hard.

Isn't the PS4 really just trying to a more powerful version of the PS3?  Thats not failing hard is it judging by sales.  

I think peoples judgement is clouded also.  You can think when you play games on XB1 or PS4 that its not that much of an upgrade.  But when you back and play some of the games again that are maybe only a few years old, the difference is absolutely night and day.  I'm not saying the old gen games are bad, they are far from it but they dont look anywhere near as good as now.  I blew the cobwebs off the 360 last week and had half an hour with New Vegas and Darksiders 2 and they both look downright horrible compared to what we have now.
