MODERATORS
We've long sense passed the bar of how much computer power is needed for gameplay, and graphics improvements are deep in the realm of diminishing returns. The only way for AAA games to outdo each other now is by ever-expanding scope and budget. A slightly more powerful console doesn't help them achieve that, and releasing on everything at once can help them recoup costs from those monster budgets.
