So far, yes. But we're talking about systems that aren't yet released and will be expected to last for at least 5 years. Able to run engines such as the latest Cry Engine, Unreal 4, and S-E's Luminous. Able to support the latest Direct X/OGL features. And of course, all of this at (finally) true-HD resolution, 1080p, while maintening a framerate as smootyh as possible, be it locked at 30 with no drops, or steady at 60. That's not mentioning 3D support.
Now, since it's pretty obvious that the money is made from the console versions of their games (mostly), I can understand why third party developers wish that they could make their vision come true on consoles that have as much under their hood as possible.
