We shouldn´t argue when we are agreeing.
I never said it always identical, they are usualy as close as they can be with limited time and effort from developers.
In fact, some times the difference is beyond the 40% GPU delta. Ghosts and MGS GZ are basicaly the only case with the extra 125% pixels.
But again, would a normal person say that Destiny looks and performs 40% better on the PS4? Or Diablo 3? Or even Ghosts and MGS, people would say one is twice as better than the other?
The extra power might be there but if developers aren´t using it utterly meaningless to the gamers. It´s not as they do this on porpouse. They just don´t have time and it´s not worth, because people wouldn´t see the difference.

If your argument is "yes, every gam runs better on the PS4, but in majority of the cases these differences are hard to dicern by the avergae gamer" then I doubt anyone would argue with you. And those that do will likely only claim that they can see the differences just fine. Thats their problem.
But if you are saying "there is no difference" and then go on to point out differences and dismiss them then you are setting yourself up for a fight you would lose.
You say with very little effort, in truth we have no idea what devs do or don't do, it could be that they spend all their time on the Xb1 version of a game knowing that with minimal work they could have the game running on the PS4 and looking slightly better, or that they make as good a PS4 version as they can within a certain time and bring the XB1 version as close to it as posible. Point is, neither you nor I could ever know that.
Your last paragraph is a contradiction. You admit that the extra power might be there, and that developers aren't using it and also give a reason for being a lack of time but say people wouldn't see the difference. How would people see the difference when as you said devs aren't actually using that power advantage? But these are all irrelevant, power advantage or not, no one has two copies of the same game for two different consoles and runs them side by side on two different TVs. So in truth, even if the XB1/PS4 version looked identical to the 360 version of a game, it will still be the best looking thing a gmer will see cause thats all he's seeing.
