IDK about all that the exclusives on ps4 blew most xbox games away other then red dead 2. Also 640p looked like crap in comparison to 720p. some games are also 720p on xbox  and 9220p on ps4 also a huge gap there.

The differences between PS4/XBO and between PS3/360 are quite minor compared to the old days; back in say the 4th, 5th, or 6th generations the differences tended to be much more pronounced.

Aladdin vs Aladdin is the most famous case of this. Also games like Strider NES vs Strider Genesis. I won't delve into Bionic Commando and Ninja Gaiden Arcade vs NES. But yeah Genesis vs SNES vs TG16. Vastly different libraries. Even the games with the same name are sometimes different. Sometimes odd things would happen like a sequel would get exclusive to a competitor console. Assault Suit Leynos(Target Earth in the US). Only on Mega Drive/Genesis. Assault Suit Valken (Cybernator in the US) only on SFC/SNES. And the suicide scene was removed for the west until the Switch port. TG16-CD got an arcade port of The Ninja Warriors but SNES got the sequel. Also called Ninja Warriors or in Japan Ninja Warriors Again. (did get a remake on Switch as Ninja Saviors)

Sorry, a little ramble. I did like it when consoles were truly different. Another reason the Switch is awesome. Genesis had some great RPGs but it was mostly an action game machine from SEGA/Treasure/Masaya and more. Shmups. Mechs and sports. SNES thrived in RPGs. Platformers. Nintendo's IPs. They were great! PCE/TG16 thrived as more obscure but awesome shmups. VNs. Far East of Eden and Cosmic Fantasy RPGs which were popular in Japan.
