Well cross-gen multiplatform games are nothing new, this has been going on for the first 2-3 years or so of every generation since gen 4 (SNES and Genesis).
I think this gen could've waited another year or two simply because of how well the 360 and PS3 were both doing even as recently as this past holiday with multiple blockbuster AAA titles and the fact that the consoles were still selling very well. By the time the 6th year of most previous gens started for example, major software releases had dried up and sales winded down as a result (assuming the consoles were even still in production at this point).
We're now entering the 9th year of the 360 and 8th year of the PS3 and both still have plenty to offer, including even getting high quality ports of the biggest title of the year, Destiny. I agree that so far the visuals gap has been the smallest since perhaps the Genesis / TG-16 to the SNES, which was intra-generational. Eventually we'll see stuff that the PS360 just can't handle (Witcher 3 among other things), but for now it's tough to justify spending $400+ on a "next-gen" console when 95% of their libraries are the same as current gen
