Relative to the generational leap preceding or following it, yes. SNES/Genesis to PS1/N64/Saturn was huge. PS1/N64/Saturn to PS2/Gamecube/XBOX was not nearly as big. It was a leap, but not nearly as big a leap. And then PS2 to PS3/XBOX 360 was gigantic. And in this case, the leap will be smaller than the PS1 to PS2 which is to say, not very big at all. |
Gotta agree with mZuzek here...that is an odd stance to take.
PS1/N64/Saturn to the next gen was HUGE! You went from having very basic plain environments and quite a lot of graphical artifacts to having vastly less glitchy or blurry or foggy worlds, much larger worlds with a lot more going on, and for the first time a graphical detail level that could be called realistic.
PS2/GC/Xbox gen to PS3/360 gen was fairly big but not nearly as much, and half of it was just the raise in resolution to HD. I'd say that gen we went from fairly realistic graphics to very realistic graphics which is a significantly smaller leap than going from very basic 3D with lots of artifacts to fairly realistic looking games.
