@pawel86ck: You are very correct. The graphical leaps are a dead concept. We have reached to a point in gaming graphics where any major improvement will require significantly more processing power leap than the previous generations. "next gen" is just going to be this gen with stable framerates.

Sony is the last chick standing when it comes to deciding the fully spec'd out generational jumps. Their current stance on what the PS5 should be can actually move gaming technologically forward. The stronger Sony comes out, the better MS will respond, the better competition will be so all gamers win. Shut up you pervy basement dwelling hermits, your best titles are console bound and your 2000¢+ twin turbo 1000+horsepower PC's will only be pumping out useless extra frames while being stuck to console scalable tech. So let's all pray for 10+Tflops Navi (Vega successor), octa core Ryzen 7nm (8700K performing levels), 16gb of GDDR6 ram and a reasonably sized speedy harddrive. Then we can finally welcome dynamic visual effects to our games.

But system warriors rejoice! The Mighty Xtra salt inducing monster manufacturing machinery that is the holy grail console box of all mankind's history has revived the true value back to the graphical fidelity. Cow's titties are milked so dry to the point of pain where the salty eye tears of the cow appear in the glinstering shining sunlight scattering lightrays across reflective surfaces all that while being rendered in real time on the X inducing K.O. ggwp slice and dice chopping up the competition sexbox. Halleluja praise the allmighty Spencer and pressuring the forthcoming of the Playstation 5 to new dimensions and beyond.

Ok it's been good fun. Time to spent more time on actually playing games on the Scorpion X King and not waste time around all the kool-aid fortified bar fights around here and make something of my fragidly short and so far pathetic life. Time to improve. Bon Voyage, and best of luck to all your future endeavors. In the interest of time...

Good stuff...

Games looking better isn't just tied to resolution.

Game engines are always being updated and newer engines are always being developed games will get better lighting, character models, the amount of enemies on screen the size of the worlds will get bigger while also being more detailed.

@PCgameruk:

Only pc gamers ask this dumb question. Generations never mattered to you guys! Leave that argument for console gamers!

It should die. The latest consoles are really nothing more than specialized PCs. Hell, the Xbox runs on Windows 10. I would prefer that consoles evolve that way.

How about this: the PS5 and next Xbox cost between $99 and $499. $499 gets you a "console", $99 gets you just the OS. Then, let HP, Dell, or even you, put the "console" together. Boom - everyone wins.

Most definitely gens are dead. The upgrades are going to be more marginal than before and the notion of abandoning millions of gamers for a new system is not going fly well with gamers. Now the Switch being next gen is just retarded. Its something but not "next" or even this gen.

Next generation literally means the next iteration of something.

So yea, the Switch is next gen.

Your no doubt biased conclusion is aimed purely at "what Hardware performance is available on the market?"

In which case I'd just say PS5 and Xbox One 2 are not next gen because they can't match a year old Graphics card. ... by your logic.

Based on your definition the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X are next gen. Thanks for playing.
