Are we still discussing graphics? What is this, 2003? Games these days, for the most part, look great. And more polygons cost more. If gaming stays on the bleeding edge then it becomes ridiculously risky and unaffordable for devs to contribute. What the hell do people even want out of graphics nowadays anyway? To see each blade of grass, pore on skin, and scratch on rock? Christ, it's like the trolls of 4chan got out of their cage.
So, yeah. I'm fine with graphics staying in stasis for the next five or even ten years, because the graphics of today are perfectly capable of doing what they're meant to do.
