Moore's Law and Current Generation Consoles

I don't know if anyone sees these blogs any more. User entries don't get highlighted on the front page any more. I guess we're not so awesome any more. Maybe writing is passé and we have to do videos now...?

Anyway, I was thinking about console power, 1080p and frames per second and something occurred to me. According to Moore's Law the number of transistors, and thus the processing power of a microchip available at the same price doubles every 2 years. At that rate, you would think that games on current generation consoles would look 4 or 5 times better than games on the last generation, since it's been 8 to 10 years in between.

I don't think they look that much better.
