Both are going to be very good looking.  The difference will be significantly less than the difference between DirectX 10 and 11 in this demo (sorry for the bad music): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiS6kzXQch

You have to get more than a 50% difference to make it visually noticeable (think PS2 to Xbox.) So with the current stats that have the NextBox about 30% less than the PS4 it wouldn't really be all that noticeable. I would think it would be a little more than the 360/PS3 differences.

Assuming the Xbox is less powerful, it could be even less as DirectX (Xbox) has become arguably powerful than OpenGL (PS4/WiiU) since DirectX 9. Look at how good Halo 4 looked, and remember it's hardware was mostly designed in 2004. Microsoft has refined DirectX 11.x with the next gen hardware in mind AND there will not be a new DirectX 12 until Windows 9 – so the NextBox/PC games will be even more similar.

Now, I would not be surprised if the hardware is a bit more powerful than the rumors. PS4 is still only 70% of what Tim Sweeney wanted. So if MS kicks up the next box GPU to the 2.5 Tflops he wants, it would mostly be bragging rights, probably not dramatically noticeable.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
