I think that is not entirely true. It's built to handle today's quality of graphics at 1080p but that bar of desired quality increases over time. And as that happens, the GPU doesn't get more powerful - it remains static. So something has to give.
Adam Sessler??In all honesty, I'm not saying any of this matters. The opposite really. You guys are all arguing over nothing. The only thing that matters is quality of games.
With the CPUs being so weak, if you want consistent 1080p 60fps performance play you should cop a PC next year instead of consoles.

This is such a red herring. Most people this generation didn't follow this supposed tenet. They bought games based on a controller, or where their friends were playing. So few people actually bought the superior version of say Battlefield 3 for example.If two exact games come out with one being better graphically on a cheaper system it matters.
It only matters that there is a big jump in quality from last gen. The minor differences between platforms don't matter, and never have.If it didn't matter, why are you dudes upgrading to next gen? the absolute major selling point right now happens to be better graphics.
The platforms are different enough that no two games will be exact regardless of graphical performace. COD ghosts says hiAdam Sessler??
It matters breh. If two exact games come out with one being better graphically on a cheaper system it matters. What if say mantle comes out and games that support it run much better on old video cards compared to more powerful nvidia cards? Would you say it doesn't matter?

Better graphics != better framerate/resolution.If it didn't matter, why are you dudes upgrading to next gen? the absolute major selling point right now happens to be better graphics.
Precisely! I'm not mad at it but that's generally the way it is.yep. people always think they get more out of hardware over time. but a lot of it is just learning 'tricks' and techniques to make the graphics look better
Better graphics != better framerate/resolution.
when they get to a form factor (non laptop) that is more conducive to travelling then I'll definitely dive in harder.
