Games get better for several different reasons. *Just quickly*
Developers can learn to gain the most visual impact by expending resources where they count the most.
I.E If we sacrifice One unit of A and get two units of B we get a better looking game. The depth of field effect is a prime example - they sacfrifice far off detail for close in detail where people are paying closer attention.
They can also take advantage of better tools and techniques so that they can get the game out faster while giving them more time to tweak the little things.
I.E The engine is already 80% right for this game, they can spend 3000 man hours working on their streaming engine so they can get better texture effects.
But by now the games companies have had 3-4 years working with both Consoles so 85% of what if possible (Just roughly) on both consoles has been done already or will be done in games coming out in the next 6 months.
Tease.
