Yeah, this is why the term 'maxed out' is stupid.  Every game that's AAA, will 'max' out the hardware.  The difference between a game in the 1st year, and a game in the final year of a console is that optimization has increased the efficiency of the code dramatically beyond what the 1st year games looked like.

Exactly! Well written.

well written but wrong, this time. there is not much to learn and optimize, its basicly a pc, and x86 is well known.

Nope.  The amount of ACE's in the PS4's GPU is only matched by AMD's R9-290 series, which are less than a year old.  And considering we're talking devs who've been working on static hardware from 2007 for the past 7 years, they didn't just wake up yesterday and learn how to use it properly.
