I don't really buy this, if you can see a difference between PS4 and XB1 ports (ie: if you can notice a difference between 1080P + 60 fps and 900P + 30 fps) you're definitely going to notice differences between a PS4 Neo and especially with an XB2. 

All it takes is one developer looking for an edge for their games/looking to get more attention (say Battlefield vs Call of Duty) to push the envelope and then the bar will be raised and other developers will have to follow suit. 

This also sounds a lot like the rationalization used for the Wii (don't worry! Iwata said the graphics will make you say "wow!", Wii games will be just like 360/PS3 games only in SD resolution vs. HD resolution, no big deal!) and Wii U (don't worry it'll be able to handle all the PS4/XB1 games, differences will be minor because devs can't afford to make higher end games!). 

Also I don't think MS really even agrees with this "parity" stuff ... this generation has not gone great for them and I don't think they're attached to it which is why they are making what looks like a full blown new console. XB2 (6 TF) vs. XB1 (1.2 TF) is a 5x leap, that's the same as the XB360 to XB1, there's no way there's not going to be substantial differences here as time goes on. 

Developers already utilize more power on their PC versions of games vs. PS4/XB1 as is. 

Are you playing dumb to troll mate, let me repeat the point to you, no game is going to use the extra power, why? Because the games have to run first and foremost on the current models, PC is an open platform to even bring them up is laughable, if you think developers will put that much more features into a game you're fooling yourself you know why? Because then it wouldn't run on the current models a developer would have to put out two versions of a PS4 game like they're separate platforms or simply do what already happens on the 3DS and just use the lowest target specs.

Look at the N3DS, hardly any game uses the new specs because the majority of users have the older model, one game trying to push the envelope like what Xenoblade did on N3DS won't make developers ignore the whole userbase sorry but you're dreaming there, Sony I recall released a statement saying no game will be exclusive to the new specs.

Too bad Soundwave won't be able to respond to you for a while due to getting a temp ban for flaming.

 

To answer Soundwave's question in the OP, I can't really say yet as we have no idea with the NX is yet.
