Do you think developers expected more power in the ps3/ 360?

heres a footage of madden next-gen when released in 2005

the developers said that the game would look even better than this.
no madden has yet come close to that standard and i doubt it will.
this was wanna the first footages of next-gen gaming.
looking at it, i wonder if madden doesent look like that due to technical limitations.
i wonder if developers actually thought that the ps3/360 would provide more ram/ video to allow this kinda graphics.
Overall i am underwhelmed by graphics.
the jump for ps1 to ps2 was a wow, the one from ps2, xbox - 360/ ps3 is a meh.
hell, i thought crysis was gonna be a given when it came to graphics this gen, not the top peak of it.

So you are basing this off of EA?

I knew when I saw that footage that that was not going to be possible on hardware this generation. Probably not next gens either.

PS3 has plenty of power. The 360 might be lacking though.Baurus_1

The PS3 can still be vastly improved in terms of power. It's all up to the developer to use it. The 360 is near it's peak, It has lots of power, but it's reaching it's capacity.dream431ca
