As for animation and such, I agree that there's still a lack of polish thus far. However, we need to remember that the "next generation" is still quite new, and we're currently seeing products rushed to make release.

Well I think the problem is that it is way too expensive to build games for these platforms, so developers have to fall onto third party middleware like the Unreal Engine. When every game is being developed using the same engine, they would tend to look alike.
Another point is what Tanukitsune just said. The push for graphics as a seller, puts more emphasis on looking realistic than it does on being artistic.
