Honestly if it doesn't happen soon then the damage will already be done, X1 is gonna get the stigma of having inferior multiplats and people will always just assume PS4 has surperior multiplats and buy them on there, similar thing happened to PS3, but it wasn't as bad.

Several games that are multi-play are already being announced with 1080p parity..  The late deveopment kits and buggy software were to blame for MUCH of the "720p" hoopla...  These 2 things have mostly been resolved.  So EVEN without DX12 there will already be less of the whole 720p vs 1080p issues. 

DX12 will likely not double anything..  but it will likely allow a smaller gap in game performance.  PS4 will always have the hardware advantage. But the PS3 always had the hardware advantage and we only really saw it in Exclusive titles. 

Yes, pretty much that. But remember that the PS4/One hardware difference is bigger than the PS3/360 case. PS3 had a better CPU while 360 had more bandwidth and a better GPU. PS4 has an equal CPU (or maybe better, if the 2.0GHz dtaa is correct), more bandwidth and a GPU that is 50% better.

1080p parity will be a given. Exclusives will be the difference makers as usual, but expect multiplats to have better framerate, better AA and eventually one or another visual improvement on PS4.
