John Carmack once said something like, if you cannot get your game out with the vision you want on a PS3/360 then you are doing something wrong.

That isnt to say that technology hasn't improved (duh!) Just that at that point there was enough grunt and memory that you could approximate what you want without massive compromise.

I still think this is true. But we will take the extra capabilities while we are here.
