Indeed. I would expect that developers will find ways and Xbone games will improve significantly from launch forward - and just the same for the PS4 games. But comparatively, the Xbone as a gaming system could be behind the PS4 curve for a long time/the whole way if more of these cross platform games show this kind of difference. (And Sony has more first party developers who will probably push their hardware that much more with exclusive games)
In this particular instance, the PS4 is pushing more than 50% of the resolution of the Xbone but the Xbone can't even keep up to the frame rate of the PS4. And the weaker system is $100 more.
Will it matter to consumers? I think it has to have at least some effect. It is even making me think about holding off until a Kinect free version is available (early 2014?)
