I dont think people know what Crysis is like on 'very high maxed out 60fps'.
We are talking a 1080p resolution, with full AA and AF, let alone very high settings.
At 60 frames a second.
If you seriously think the next breed of consoles could do that - honestly - a jump from the current console standard would have to be the biggest technological jump in ages. Let alone the hardware price would be so massive the PS3s launch price would have looked liek a bargain.

Ever heard of Moore's law?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law
"Moore's Law describes an important trend in the history of computer hardware: that the number of transistors that can be inexpensively placed on an integrated circuit is increasing exponentially, doubling approximately every two years "
Think about it. The most powerful console last Gen was the xbox, which had a 700Mhz processor, compare that with the Xbox 360 which has 3 2.4Ghz cores, not to mention the cell processor in the PS3. Exponential growth means that every year the jump in technology will be greater than before, so the jump will always be the largest jump ever. 6 years between xbox and xbox 360=8 times the power. 8 years between 360 and the next console=16 times the power.
So then, if we look at the fact that the 360 was tested at 1 Teraflop and the PS3 at 2 Teraflops, if we multiply that by 16, it would get into the to 100 supercomputers in the world right now, which the bottom one has a peak performance of 15.36 Teraflops.
