Just to Clarify In a scenario where Developers were to make a basic version of a game without any platform specifics this is how it would be this gen and next gen:
x360 - would need tweaking to work with eDRAM but minimal other change
PS3 - would need to be massively changed to work with CELL+ RSX as a cohesive unit
XB1 - would need tweaking to work with ESRAM but minimal other change
PS4 - Would work. that's how straightforward the architecture is, also the extra 500GFLOPS will just work, you don't need to mess around to get it to work, thats the power of the GPU.
I feel like this post shouldn't have to exist on NeoGAF as the posters here generally should be familiar enough with Console architecture to know these things, but here i am, posting it.
Let's stop the we won't see any differences at first, Graphically the 3D performance of both will be uneven and there isn't any amount of coding neccessary to do this. The difference we'll see in 2-3 years is mainly regarding fine grain GPGPU compute. Theres going to be differences day one and we'll see them in November and they'll be superior on the cheaper box.
