And yet, even though Nvidia mentions how GPU development back then was limited, and that it was infact the console makers who pushed the performance forward with their requirements, they fail to realize mention, that nowadays it's Nvidia/AMD who are constantly pushing those limits, so console makers don't need to do that.
It's no longer a situation where console makers go to them and say: "Let's see if you make this". No, now it's more like: "What can you offer us?" and then make little settings to best fit their plans.
And let's be honest here. If the PS4/X1 are underpowered compared to PCs, is not because they couldn't make more powerful consoles. No, they went with those specs because the market would not accept +500$/€ consoles that use more than 300W at load and need powerful fans to cool it.
