ps4/xbone parity will, sadly, probably be the norm. it is cheaper to develop parity than it is to develop unique features per console. i don't like it but i also get it. ps4 will mostly only get advantages only in framerate and resolution and even then only when developers can't get xbox up to standard.

exclusives is where ps4 will kill xbone graphically and even then only the top teir exclusives like uncharted/TLoU.

@Bolded:  But this is not the case today so why would it be the case in the future.  Even from last generation when did 3rd party developers every push one system over another.  Developers do not need to get the X1 up to standard if the PS4 is already there.  Instead they will drop features, resolution any anything else first.  What will happen is if the X1 is lagging behind the PS4, developers will move resources to get the X1 up to speed as much as possible.

no idea what point you are trying to make but there are dozen upon dozens of threads i could point you to dedicated to xbox's resolution/framerate gap with ps4 on multiplat titles.   clearly, today,.. many developers can't get xbox titles up to standard.
