Has "the gap" gotten smaller?

One thing to point out as a consideration though, is that Sony very often pay out for PS4 owners to have more content in games. So 2-3 hours PS4 only content. Whereas this never seems to happen the other way around, as MS usually pay the extra money to get some timed advantage instead.

Hate to be that guy but I am nothing, if not fair.

Tomb Raider Underworld had exclusive content that never went to PS3 (as far as I know). GTA IV had two exclusive DLC episodes...for about year.  It happens both ways.

Last gen it happened all the time Xbox side, which alongside better online structure meant I bought almost every multi plat on 360.  They left it behind with XB1 and there are no signs of that kind of thing coming back in anything announced.  They have had perfect candidates to do it in as well with the likes of The Division and Fallout 4.  In Ass Creed Unity there was nothing extra, then a year later with Syndicate there is a full exclusive mission line.  The only gap closer would be if backwards compatibilty was something the general gaming population wanted to embrace.  Having exclusive DLC seems to be a much bigger draw than bundling in a 8 year old backward compatible game.  There is a reason I haven't turned on my PS3 or 360  for a few years.  Most people are done with that stuff and are forming backlogs of new games now that the gen is advancing.  Its all good though, in the end everything is just minor reason, but sometimes a lot of minor reasons add up to which to choose.
