No I am saying that game design innovation not possible on previous gen (what the OP claims is lacking) is unlikely to bee seen in launch window games as most of them have game designs rooted in last gen hardware. And that it will take time for developers to design and create new experiances that leverages next gen hardware so it would be better to gudge in 2-3 years once devs have got the hang of the new hardware.
I am also saying that next gen will bring many advances in game design outside of the core game loop. Thanks to the increased performance headroom which will allow developers to offer more diverse and dynamic level and encounter design, things like improved scale and NPC diversity, procedural animation and physics and more dynamic elements in level design which don't really become aparent is trailers and stage demos.
