Not necessarily. He's simply pointing out that it doesn't really make sense to accuse a console of being "just a power upgrade" over what came before. In terms of whether you think the post claims that we have or haven't made much progress over the last few decades, well, it's actually possible to read it both ways. If Gravemind agrees that the PS4's jump is kind of pathetic, then yes, he's arguing that progress has overall been slow. On the flip side, if Gravemind is impressed with the PS4's leap, then his post is actually a claim that big strides in the experience can occur from what looks like incrimental improvements, and thus casting something as "just an improvement in power" is the real belittling.
