Yup. Even end of gen games on wii u will blow our minds.

Last gen, hardware was unique and required a different approach to programming to fully utilize, such as the PS3 CELL processor, and the 360's IBM processor, along with limited RAM that required extensive optimization to make games run at all.
This gen, 2 of the consoles will be X86 based, so developers already have extensive knowledge of how to program for it. The differences over time won't be as dramatic, aside from the Wii U; Its IBM cpu and edram makes it different to program for, meaning games will look better over time and improve. The other consoles will remain relatively the same.

And that's just flat out wrong. This gen should have the largest difference between launch and end of gen.

I don't see how. If the hardware is already being almost fully utulized

Proof?? Ttoally disagree. Os, drivers, dev kits are still being refined newer techniques will be applied, new engines.........
