I don't think it's nearly that drastic. You can see footage of PS2 games that came out a year or more before the PS2 launched that looked basically like it did at launch. Sure there were improvements, but not improvements so large that it takes current-gen looking games and makes them look next-gen in a matter of weeks. I guess we'll see when it launches. If the games get good reviews I'll be buying it regardless of the graphics.
