I suspect though this is partly why the next Nintendo hardware (fusion handheld + home variant) won't be that big of an upgrade, but more of a 2-3x boost over the Wii U with more RAM and more modern shader effects.

This level of graphics is more than good enough for Nintendo's art style to look "pretty" in without getting in to the bigger budget headaches PS4/X1 games will run into.

I would agree that.  4K gaming or 120/144fps is still a long ways off to be suitable for console tech.  It may not happen next gen for Sony or MS, let alone Ninty.  It's not even close to being the norm for PC gaming yet, and consoles are typically years behind PCs in tech.

So for the next 10-12 years, 1080p 60fps might be the best that anyone can do on a $300-400 console.  The focus should be in perfecting what you can do in that 1080p frame, more detail, more advanced physics, lighting, particle effects, and better animations, and of course locking at that 60fps.

People have been saying since the late 90s that 60fps will be standard for the next gen. It's never gonna happen.
