oh definitely. that used to be an acceptable trend for console development, better graphics, better graphics, better graphics. this is mostly due to the increase in processing power (moores law) and we are getting to the point where the performance aspects are beginning to peak and reach their limits in terms of hardware, and we are left with graphics that can only be improved so much more, which will more than likely have to come from the game development and software aspects.
i agree, motion control/touchscreen is not groundbreaking or progressive, not to mention, people dont play videogames because they want to be active. i play videogames because i want/need a break from moving around, i want to sit around and relax, not swing my arms around trying to play wii tennis.... have you watched someone who plays wii games/is good at something like wii tennis? their arm movements are almost non existent, sharp, quick wrist movements is all that is going on, completely defeating the purpose of the motion controller altogether.
i am personally completely happy with my ps3. i am almost pissed that the ps4 is coming out, unless there is groundbreaking multiscreen technology that is going to be a complete game changer, making me look back to the past in disbelief that i once played videogames without my iphone/tv/ps4 i will not personally be investing in a ps3 until the stop supporting it altogether.
