sri krsna and sri vishnu are surely the same person, there's no many gods, we are not polytheists.. simply there's difference in the kind of personality displayed in the lilas and in the number of qualities displayed.

 

Krsna is considered an higher display of god's personality, in comparison with sri vishnu, because krsna shows his intimate pastimes.

 

like a nation's president, or king: Vishnu is the king when he is in his role, job, official function of king: government, dealing with allies and enemies, some times punishing, some time angry, fighting etc... Krishna is the same king when, back home, he displays his loving intimacy with parents, relatives, friends, sons, lovers, wifes etc. So for the intimacy and for the more complete (actually the most complete) display of powers (shakti) of krsna in his lilas (he displays also vishnu qualities, but vishnu never displays the same intimacy), we consider krsna not the supreme god, there's not many god, god is one.. we consider krsna the supreme personality of godhead, or the supreme display of god's personality

 

krsna is so sweet in his intimate pastimes that, using yoga maya, he makes his associates think that he's an ordinary son, friend, lover, father, husband to care for... when he puts on the vishnu's uniform, he's more official... but he remains our beloved sri krsna bhagavan

CC Madhya 9.115: veGkaTa bhaTTa then said, "Lord kRSNa and Lord nArAyaNa are one and the same, but the pastimes of kRSNa are more relishable due to their sportive nature
