Yes why not the 88xx series is a perfect fit for next gen regarding die/tdp if 78xx series is anything to go by.
Especially here were alot of people have very conservative views regarding next gen power people will be shocked. A machine with similar silicon/tdp as 360/PS3 was at launch would be really strong in 2013 giving highend gamer pcs (single gpu) a run for their money.

Nah. Not a perfect fit.
A Radeon 8870 is predicted to have a TDP of 160 watts, so I would assume they would be consuming anywhere from 130 watts of power or more just for the GPU alone.
Remember, PC graphics chips aren't like what they used to be 7 years ago where the fastest cards were barely breaking 150w TDP's, these days they are starting to smash the 300w barrier.
And the launch Xbox 360's power brick could output at most 175w, then they need to factor in capacitor aging so it's rated at more than it needs to.

it was a 203W PSU at launch.
