I wish graphics would stop improving so companies will have to mix real innovation into their games.

I suppose if you exclusively play single player story mode games I can somewhat see your point. But for everything except those your point doesn't hold much water. All of the most popular games being played right now are fairly easy to run graphically. Most of them happen to be multiplayer. These would include games like Fortnite, League of Legends, DotA, Counter-Strike, OverWatch, Hearthstone. Even MMOs are making strides to be less graphically intensive releasing patches to help lower than the machines. I have a higher-end rig that could run just about anything you throw at it, but I pretty much exclusively play the multiplayer games that I listed so I never really encounter what you've described. I suppose it just depends on the type of games that one plays. Obvious exceptions are games like Battlefield. When Battlefield releases it tends to draw quite a crowd however, Battlefield has some pretty spectacular lower-end graphical options that allow you to run Battlefield on even subpar machines. At the end of the day, I agree with a lot of what you said Innovation would really drive some interesting concepts to players however there's also a visceral experience that players can gain from graphical immersion that cannot be overlooked. Perhaps you should have saved the money you spent on the Xbox and put it into a fund to upgrade your computer in the future? If you bought a shity car should we lower the speed limit so you can feel fast? Don't hold us back.
