As long as developers know what they have to work with, its not a big deal. Its not to say that a quad core I7 wouldn't open up the door to more possibilities, but within the cost and power consumption envelope, the 8 core Jaguar seems to get the job done. Developers also quickly became intimate with multi threading, something that hadn't really taken off until PS4/X1 released. Until then most games ran just fine on a dual core processor, and rarely were games making significant use of more than two cores. On PC you would see the "main" thread at 100%, second at 80%, and then 10-20% each additional thread available. I'm sure on PS4 they have nearly every core singing pretty good on your recent most demanding games.
