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 think we all agree it won't be as big, but I still think we'll see a sizable leaps especially with third parties, partially down to standard logic of devs getting better with said hardware as you say but also extrernal technologies becoming better and more efficient. photogrammetry is something I think is just beginning to be utilised in game worlds (star wars Battlefront for example) and the result is something far more convincing the what we've seen thus far this gen. 

I think this E3 in particular will be very informative on the issue.

It's just that I always see PS3 and 360 held up as an example of how much progress can be made this gen graphically, and I think that's just setting people up for disappointment.
