PS4 and Xbox One: The diminishing returns of next-gen console graphics

Modular consoles are the future

and the PC

I think the main reason for console manufacturers to release the sequel of their consoles is to improve the graphics and visual effects. NO other than that. i mean, why would Sony and Microsoft release the next-gen PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with the same hardware internals like the PS 3 and Xbox 360. It's just meaningless. And the great thing is, i love what Epic has been doing with their Unreal Engine 4, making sure that game developers now can just focus on creating great gameplay, storyline and realistic human face/physics, without thinking too much about creating the graphics and visual effects from the scratch.
