The last time a console game really blew my mind graphically was Uncharted 2 back in 2009.

Since then, ironically it's only the Switch that has delivered that "wow how is this even running" feeling for me and only in the sense of "I can't believe this is running on a portable device". With greater limitations always placing it several years behind console tech, mobile tech didn't hit diminishing returns quite so soon; Switch's leap over 3DS/Vita was a lot more impressive to me than PS3 to PS4 or 360 to Xbox One. 

Honestly it depends on the game. Batman AK on ps4/xbox makes batman origins look like a vita game, same thing for RDR2 vs red redemption 1. i just watched some gameplay of uncharted 2 and it looks so dated. I honestly feel switch jump from vita is the same as ps3 to ps4. it's just took developers much longer to get a grip with the hardware to take real advantage of it.

PS3/360 do indeed look technically dated now, but I still haven't seen anything on PS4 that leaves PS3's best quite as far behind as later PS3 games did to anything on the PS2. 

When I look at something like Metro Exodus maxed out and raytraced on PC, now THAT looks like a proper generational leap over PS3/360 to the extent of prior leaps, in my eyes anyway.
