Consoles powers

[Ruby Moon]

Are the new consoles (PS2, GC and XBOX) really at 100% of their possibilities with the latest games that are coming out, or they're not even close to show us their powers and resources?
I was wondering, because if it's true that each company is possibly working on the next console to launch in few years, isn't it that the world of videogame is going to face some kind of regressive period in the future if all goes so fast and we don't even have to see the real possibilities of each console before another one is launched?

I think that the consoles are showing they're true powers. With the latest games coming out for each system, I think so. I mean, look at Metroid Prime for GameCube, or Blinx for X-Box, or Onimusha 2 for PS2. IMO, each one of these games are pretty powerful, graphically. As for each company coming up with a new system, well as far as I know, only Sony is coming outh the next system in a couple of years. PS3, I wonder how that is...

Blinx? Try Panzer Dragoon Orta, that shows the power a little better. And actually there really is no knowing what the best games will look like, it all depends on the tenacity of the game developers. Not one day while owning my SNES did I ever think they would make a game that looked nearly as good as DKC.

You're right. I just couldn't think of another example. :P

If they are showing their true power, it's just in a very few games, as Iguna said, maybe in Onimusha 2 (I thought it was an X Box game when I saw those graphics) but definitely they are not being ABSOLUTELY exploded and used their whole power at it's maximum, recalling what Kraftslu said, few imagined that a game like DKC was possible on the SNES, I am sure we will get some surprises on the near future.

And I really don't intend to buy anymore consoles (after I buy a GC) in at least the next 3 years.
