Plus the processing differences between X1, PS4, PS4Pro, X1X in order of power isn't that high that they are a generational jump that would really hold down the technology.

Sure X1X could have games that X1 couldn't, but as you said that wasn't ever the proposition, and from my POV I rather have PS4Pro games looking prettier than PS4 than playing games PS4 couldn't play.

The holding down will all depend on the devs themselves making the right calls.

Yep, I agree with you.

 With all the scalability that Devs can apply to software, games on the more powerful hardware will never be hold back because of the less powerfull hardware and that fact games have to run on it as well, unless the difference is insane, like 5X the power in both CPU/GPU and total memory bandwidth.   So, it depends from Devs, and if they want and put effort, all versions will be spectacular on the respective SKU.

Can't wait for the official announcement of PS5 and "Anaconda" !!!

Yep, even more if all the HW is using same/similar tech and gen with just the processing power being different. If only performance is different it will fall down to same game with different res/fps or some whistles and bells being applied or not.
