That's not entirely true anymore. Newer consoles have more overhead than they ever had. While the software can still be better optimized, they wont use 100% power (capability) for any game. Anyone who says differently really doesn't know.

GAFs are saying both consoles will delivery close to 100% GPU utilization... the addicional 6 queued pipelines and 6 ACEs in PS4 GPU have this pourpose (HD 7970 have 2 of both... the PS4 GPU have 8 of both)... Microsoft showed closed room a graph with the Nextbox using close 100% the GPU raw power too (the 360 uses only 60%).

There is no overhead in consoles this gen... at least in GPU.
