What this news does describe is a real latent want by developers to move away as quickly as possible from current gen shackles to explore new design possibilities courtesy of next-gen hardware.
Development of games with proper HW utilisation is cheaper/more efficient if you do not target multiple generations at once? I am shocked...
... not that shocked, but then again I do not think supporting multiple performance levels is ever that cheap nor simple.
