Yes there can be huge improvements, if every game would be at least at the same level as PS4 exclusives which they are not. The PS4 is more powerfull but also more complex to maxing out the hardware, thats because it has more powerfull gpu than cpu and only gddr5 as memory.

PS4 isn't complex. It has a pretty standard CPU and GPU and one big pool of fast RAM. There's no Cell-like mysteries to its innards.

Graphics will of course improve as devs gain more experience with the hardware and better tools, but we will never see a PS4 game that shows the same kind of leap over Killzone Shadowfall that The Last of Us or God of War Ascension show over Resistance Fall of Man. In fact, I doubt any console will ever show that kind of leap again.

I agree with pretty much everything you say, but most devs haven't started to really push the potential of GPGPU in games. It may not be obvious in terms of visuals, but I think it will make a big difference to environments, detail, interactive objects, physics etc.
