None of the consoles this gen were powerful enough. Nintendo decided to be crazy and release a last gen console, and Sony and MS both decided to save themselves some money by selling at a profit right from the beginning of the generation (which isn't how consoles were done in previous generations). Quite a few developers have commented on how the specs this gen were lower than they expected, alot of those early gen games that got downgraded were due to the developers expecting more power. 

As for UC4, it is a beautiful game, but let's face it, it's pushing PS4 very close to it's limit. We may see a few games that rival UC4 graphics on PS4, and maybe some developer (likely Naugghty Dog themselves) will top it, but any graphical improvements over UC4 later this gen will be negligible. There's a reason why Sony is releasing PS4K Neo, it's because PS4 is nearly at it's limit already only 3 years into the generation. That is the price you pay for designing a console with basically off-the-shelf components as opposed to a more expensive custom solution.

That's what people said about PS3 when Uncharted 2 released in 2009. Then God of War III released next year and blew them away. Subsequent years saw Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, God of War: Ascension and The Last Of Us pushing the PS3 beyond what Uncharted 2 did.
