Actually, no, you're missing the point.  The situation is the PS4 has a much higher ceiling, long-term, than the XB1, due to it's ~40% differential.  The XB1 will improve over time, absolutely, every electronic device dependant upon human software follows this tack.  However, the PS4 will also, and they have more to work with, so yes, the gap should increase, up to a point.

Yet after almost a year this gap has not gotting bigger or smaller. that higher ceiling has been being used already and thats why PS4 games look better then X1 games, and that 40-50% on Paper wont be as noticable with your eyes as long as PS4 keeps doing 1080P and x1 keeps doing 900P, imo if the PS4 dropped its res down to 900P too you would notice that extra power more..

Right, because we all know that the majority of SDK refinement is restricted to the first year.

/facepalm

Look at the PS3/360's first year, and compare it with last year.  Look at the PS2 or original Xbox's first year, and compare it to 5 or 6 years into it's life.  Your logic doesn't stand up to the test of time.   Another example, look at the amount of time it took devs to start utilizing all 4 cores of a CPU, on PC.  Years.  It takes time for devs to find ways to utilize it all, and to utilize it all in the cleanest, most effective way possible.  That certainly doesn't occur w/in the 1st year.
