Graphics will always improve. We hear that same logic every new gen, then the next gen comes out and blows everyone away. There is alot more to realism that this gen cant do.

There is, but I wasn't exactly disputing that. The previous post was talking about a future where only a few studios out there are trying to push the highest-end realism, and most are settled in the "average" graphics that already look realistic enough. I think we've already reached this point, because it does seem that way to me already, that only very few games come each year that are really trying to push graphics to the next level. Most games, even AAA games, are generally settled with what is currently the standard, whereas in the past that push for realism was far more widespread.

We have seen a huge hint of the next step. That Matrix demo. The next step is seeing that demo run at 60fps - 120fps.

There are always huge steps the industry can take.
