Yes, better is better. Only if better is what you were told and not what you experience.
I will go with a car analogy. When discussing sports cars, many people may tell you that a Ferrari is "Better" than a Lamborghini. Now, the people who say that can possibly come up with dozens of technical reasons to think so. And, those reasons may be technically correct. But, when you sit in the seat of both of them and drive around, you will not find those differences. The reason is that unless your going fast enough in the right a=exact set of circumstances, the differences are imperceptible.
That was the real point of the OP. That the actual differences while actually playing the more recent versions of the multiplats shows that the differences are not perceptible to the person playing the game. Yes, digital foundry will tell you there is a difference, but they aren't playing the game. they are just looking at it.

That is not comparable, higher resolution and higher framerates are objectively better than their lower counterparts, their is no opinion about that. The differences in subjectively percieved experiences are irrelevant, because other than the Reso/Framerate these games are identical. You're essentially saying that if you drive a Lamborghini in on a bright day in California vs the exact same Lamborghini on a rainy smogy day stuck in traffic in Shanghai.
The differences in reso/framerate are objectively real, and just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

So, your saying that differences that can't be percieved by the user should matter?
Wow, then the gaming experience won't be enough to ever satisfy the user no matter what system they buy. They need to buy agaming PC no matter what then.

No. Differences that are unrelated to the game do not matter. They might be a reason to buy a worse version of the game, but its still clear cut to which one is inferior and which one is superior.
Thats why saying something like controller, or friends doesn't matter, because everyone has different circumstances, a person who loves the xb1 controller so much that they don't ever want to use a PS controller will always buy an XB1 version regardless of it being worse, unless their prefrences change and controller drops in priority behind performance and fidelity.
But you can't generalize subjectivity to make general statements or you lose all credibility.

I think you are responding to the other comment about controllers. I wasn't speaking to something subjective.
Even though TV and movies would make it seem that people can percieve everything going on in their field of vision, that is simply not true. In almost every case, the human mind only picks up fragments of what they are looking at and the brain just "assumes" the rest. That's why I keep discussing what is perceptably different when actually playing a game as compared to what is really happening(the PS4 version is better technically). Sure, when you disassociate yourself from the gameplay(Digital foundry), your brain then focuses on a whole different set of facts. Thus the comparison or difference is more obvious.
