In terms of technology it's sometimes staggering, yeah.

But I sorta feel that game design has regressed since the fourth, fifth, and six gens. So it's kind of a hollow leap forward for me :-/

Same here. Dare i even say, gaming went TOO far for it's own good. It's spawned a community of people who demand and only value AAA huge project games with perfection, which affects many many aspects of the industry and community.
