I wholeheartedly agree.  The differences this gen are FAR more pronounced than they were between the 360 and the PS3!  Xbox fans keep trying to minimize the differences, but they ARE there, and they ARE significant, no matter how much they try to downplay it!

Wasn't that the case during the first year for PS3 and 360 games.  Resolution was much worst on the PS3 and framerates were crap.  Now we see developers stating they can reach at least visual parity with the X1.  In other words, look for 1st and 2nd party to really try to squeeze the most from either console.  For 3rd party developers its not a priority and probably never will be.

Eventually 3rd party developers would be able to do more with the PS4 engine than the Xbox one's. It would be up to them to decide whether or not to take advantage of that.

Think about it, even today 3rd party developers do not put in the time or resources to make the PS3 look or even perform better than the 360 version after 10 years. There is nothing that will change for 3rd party developers because their focus is not to make one platform outperform the other but to make all platforms perform as equal as possible.  

Can 3rd party developers push the PS4 harder, probably so but for a money, time and resource standpoint, its better they push the other hardware more to reach the PS4.  The thing is, thats doess adding a few more framerates or pixil really going to sell the PS4 version more than adding parity for the weaker console.  This was the case last gen and it remains today.  Nothing change but the players position.
