People are more or less brushing off the graphics of of the next gen exclusives because multiconsole ports are near identical to last gen. So far there's been next to nothing that hasn't been a port. The games that are actually exclusive have been far better looking than anything on the prior gen. Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, DriveClub, Infamous Second Son, Bloodborne, and The Order 1866.

We were talking about early to late PS3 games due to the architecture being bat shit crazy to develop for. And even with that in mind, the games we can actually look at (same dev, same setting and tone games) look pretty much identical. Based off that what is the likelyhood of games looking insanely better from the start of this gen to the end (based on a 5 year cycle)? We are already nearing year 2 for PS4 and Xbone and know what these games look like for this year. We can pretty much call second year a wrap. 

That said, are graphics going to get better? Sure. By any great amount? No. 

The fact that games look so much better (exclusives wise) is because the old consoles simply could not get that much farther ahead in graphics even after new engines, ect came. Therefore, its probably safe to assume PS4 and XBone exclusive games now and near the end of its life cycle will look (different sure, but) practically the same.
