You think they didn't do different things? Play different games?
Don't be an old crusty fucker
This is just perceived technological advances in the same span of time, not what games different generations prefer.
While Moore's Law isn't dead the slow down is apparent. From game graphics to phones and other areas of life, the perception is stagnation.
For example I'd notice little difference in a flagship android phone from 10 years ago or AAA video game compared to something that came out this year. Hell I might gain some features like a headphone jack or IR blaster.
You couldn't say the same if you went back 10 years from 2012 to 2002 tech. You'd go from a smartphone to a cellphone that probably didn't even have a color screen nevermind a camera, web browser, touchscreen etc.
I think you would notice a big difference from a 10 year old phone.
A flagship of 2015, like the Samsung Galaxy S6, is a medium-low specs phone of today (3GB RAM, 32GB storage), but with smaller screen. For most people that only use social media and messaging, it's perfectly serviceable.
