Believe it or not, it actually looks better.
Heck, I would double dip on some games on the current gens if it gets ported to the PS4. You may try to play Shadow of Colossus on the PS3 and see how it's vastly different compare to PS2 version, so it's not strange for people to buy PS3 games on the PS4.
As I said before, I hope the Japanese developer doesn't fall into the trap of chasing next gen graphic. They could just keep the current graphic and port it onto the PS4 and I would still buying. I'd love to play an Atelier game without horrible framerate, or a Gundam versus on splitscreen without framerate issue, and be able to record/stream video for Blazblue match would be godsend for small scale tournament or inhouse matches. I would have bought the PS4 day one if they had those games or had some kind of backward compatibility. As of right now, I don't really have any interest in the next gen games, aside from Yakuza Ishin.
At the current selling rate (worldwide), the PS4 already surpassed the PS2.

Looks like Japanese video game store owners are getting creative in explaining the power of the PS4 to their customers. One decided to resort to one of Japan’s most beloved anime and manga series: Dragonball.
In the picture at the bottom of this post you can see the peculiar billboard placed on the shop’s counter, as shared by Twitter user Kurage.
Here’s a translation of what the sign says:
PS4: just how powerful is it?
If you compare the PS3 to Freeza’s first form (battle power 530,000)
PS4 is a monster machine like the fourth form of Freeza (battle power 60 million).
[8GB Memory] -> 16 times the PS3. Power: Can use the Death Beam 16 times at the same time.
[8 Cores] -> 8 Times the PS3. Number of programs that can be executed: The Ginyu Force is now 40 people.
[Memory GDDR5] -> 7 Times the PS3. Processing Speed: Will move seven time quicker.
