I cannot fathom your conclusion that an underpowered console will lead to better game design.

I can, a much more powerful console means that the developers will have to work even harder in the graphics department to compete with others, to do that they have to increase the time and effort spent on the graphics (models, engine, textures, animation), putting the other aspects of the game in the background or as an aftertough.

If they keep the graphic capabilities of the consoles around the same as the current ones, they would already have the graphic technology in a mature state and can spend less in that part and concentrate in minor fixes and more time on the gameplay and world design.
