I agree that the gfx didnt wow me at all
I guess that BF3 already spoiled us in that matter
Definitely true.

lol to all you kids tryin to defend your over-priced computer hardware. "the gfx arnt goods i gots betta!!" oh really? because last time i checked 90% of your games are just ports of console games and are limited anyway. sure you can have better resolutions, better framerates, but they look very much the same. you should be THANKING microsoft and sony for putting out new hardware, so that you PC nerds can finally have better looking games as well. i only speak the truth. crucify me or whatever, but you KNOW it's true.
Must be a console fan boy or not have any amount of experience with a good gaming PC if you think all the good games on PC are simply console ports. Granted some are. Personally, I don't play these. They are an insult to my hardware.
MS and Sony aren't really putting out new hardware. When it comes to GPUs, they are merely pumping out hardware that, once the consoles are released, will be using technology 2 gens old. Console fanboys will be using this same hardware for nearly a decade! That's pretty sad. Even GPU optimized games on gens old 6870s will have their limits.
I'm thinking these consoles necessarily will need to do more than game (and they will) to remain relevant, because 3 or 4 years from now, our newest phones will be playing games of the same quality level as these new consoles with static hardware configurations.
The true value of the new consoles will be what they can offer outside of gaming.
