Odd question, and some odd responses. I think people are really kind of stretching here to avoid admitting the actual truth. The truth is, most multiplats perform better on the PS4, you can argue whether that's a major improvement or not to your hearts content, but that's delving deeper into the question than what is being asked.

Better, is better. Whether it's marginal, or monumental, is irrelevant.

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. 

Let me ask you something then. How do you know what games do you want to play? Most likely you saw a comercial, saw it anounced online or a friend tod you a good game from a year ago and many reasons. Most people see thouse mediums and dont want the game right away and need more info on the game, so they will reserch the game, internet, store to ask questions, friend will tell them. In all cases you need more info on a game before you purchase it and when doing that reserch you will be told wich version runs better, you will probably go to digital foundry or similar sites or just comparisons online and forums or articles and be informed that one is better then the other. So more often than not, even if the person cant tell the diference, all the information will probably be there for them to say "the same price but this one is better in graphics and plays the same, well this is a no brainer for me". Nobody just gos to  a store and looks at a box art for the first time and says this looks good ill get this without looking in to it, unless is on sale and you have no time to research.
