Should we really be surprised though?
The PS4 and X1 are basically just PC components in a box with a fairly weak CPU.
There's nothing really that tech wise they should be able to do that would be light years past what a good PC rig can pull off.
Hence I think it's harder to impress people.
I think too the last gen was like a "leap generation" in terms of graphics, the combination of the addition of high end shading/lighting effects + polygon counts reaching a certain high level meant that it was a monstrous leap over the previous gen. You could create character models that looked seamless and fairly smooth, now you can add 10x the polys to that if you want but it'll be more of a refinement that a huge jump.
