When did you first notice that grafix had diminishing returns?

I never argued that fact. You saying that it's impossible for ps4 to match ps3 graphical progress because ps3 was exotic complex hardware that's my argument with you. As Pemalite explained above with halo 3 to 4, massive visual gains are more likely to come from developers learning how to make the best use of the hardware as well as evolving there engine and rendering technics to make best use of the hardware.

Except PS4 was, by intentional design, mature, well-documented, and very straightforward hardware, so figuring out how to best use it was relatively easy and painless for developers. Not so with PS3, which notoriously took years for devs to wrap their heads around.

yea this is not going anywhere. you seem to be stuck on the same thought process. The reality is most of 360/ps3 gains was with developers Learning how to make games look better, and learning how to use the hardware efficiently. Not because ps3 was complex hardware, if ps3 was a very easy to develop for, all you would have seen was much bigger gains during that gen. The reason that gen games kept looking better was because they kept learning new rendering technics  that had never been used before, and guess what? it's the same with this gen.
