There will be some exclusive games on PS4 that will look (significantly) better than games on the Xbox One. But only forum-geeks like us will care and it will be less than 10 games in total over the next 5 years.

That does not mean that Xbox One games will look bad. Just like this gen with games like Gears of War or Halo 4. I can tell you that Halo 5 (if it is named like that) will look googeous. Heck, Ryse, Battlefield, Forza look awesome already.

Acutally I think Wii U games look great as well. Look at the Zelda tech demo, or X. Those are good looking games, period.

 

The difference between PS4 and Xbox One will be as big as PS3 and Xbox 360 or even less.

This time there will be a bigger diffrence. PS4 has the faster and better ram. Will have a smaller and lighter OS footprint allowing at least an extra 1gb of ram over X1. The GPU has 18 compute units instead of 12.  So the PS4 will have a an at least 30% advantage but that will increase when developers start truly leveraging the machines power.  As for the PS4 games shown at E3 they were all running on PS4 hardware unlike some on X1 were probably the PC versions. The Only X1 game that impressed was Forza 5. Drive Club was an early build. I think they deliberately showed a pre alpha 35% one. There is no way they can only be at 35% complete with about 4 months of development left. They probably holding back a later build for Gamescom and other titles for TGS

It could just that Evolution studios are not that experienced when it comes to Driving sims. The forza team are specialist, they've spent a whole generation working within this specific field and optimising engines to create the best driving sim (ish) game they can. Evo studios however have spent the last 7 years making Motostorm titles which are not about glossy carss, but instead desctuction and huge open racing environments. Possibly this why Driveclub doesn't quite compete with Forza.
