That is a no-brainer "mandate". Any non-optimized game, like all Indies, will of course run better (whichever way you want to define "better") on a system that is 30%+ faster than the old system. That is just the law of brute-force programming.
The only people in trouble are the developers like Naughty Dog, for example, that tend to analyze and then optimize every clock cycle in every thread on the PS4. Such a game, unchanged, will run unpredictably on the new system and will require a lot of additional development time (hence why some of the developers are rumoured to be "pissed").
