I was wrong about 8th gen.

Agreed. I think a lot of people see the past through rose tinted glasses. Comparing apples to apples, open world RPGs, HD playthroughs of the start of the games on the actual systems (spoilers duh)

I don't think that's a tiny leap, and the leap from Skyrim to Wicher is far bigger than Oblivion to Skyrim.

While that screenshot is from the PC version of The Witcher 3, I have no doubt that games will eventually end up looking like that (at 30fps) on the PS4. Driveclub and the Order are also huge highlights as to what the system can achieve. The XBox One is no slouch either, I expect Halo 5 and Tomb Raider to look very good. The leap isn't "tiny" at all. I think the "diminishing returns" argument is overrated because you can easily see and feel the difference once you go back to 7th gen consoles and 7th gen ports (even on PC).
