I'm fine with Activision and EA releasing their games on both new and current gen consoles. They should just either develop them on next gen consoles and port them to last gen ones or use the PC version to port it to next gen consoles.
Increasing the resolution, framerate and adding more AA etc. doesn't cost any money.

We'd be then able to see which versions take off and which don't.

Yeah I expect them to do that. The problem is that since the game is a port those advancement will only interest a very few minority of people (or even notice those changes) and because only early adopters are going to buy those games, all those 10m+ players are going to stay with the PS3 or 360 version.

So I honestly don't see the new version taking off. And thus begins the problem the OP is saying. 

Just raise the price for PS4/Xbox³ games to $70 and third parties will try to push the new consoles, which wouldn't even be unfair since that would correspond exactly with the inflation rate.
