Last year nVidia chips used too much power. The 7790 which is I think is closest to what's in the consoles, was at least 1.5X more power efficient than equivalent nVidia GPUs, until this year.

I was pretty sure that kepler was more efficient perf/watt wise in terms of gaming performance ...

No, not last year when the hardware for XB1/PS4 would have been pretty fixed.

Radeon HD 7790
 - Released March 2013, MSRP $130, die size 221 sqmm, TDP 85W, GFLOPS 1792, GFLOPS/W 21.0

GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost
 - Released March 2013, MSRP $170, die size 160 sqmm,  TDP 134W, GFLOPS 1505, GFLOPS/W 11.2

Comparatively the GTX was ~40% bigger, used a lot more power, and cost more.

The GTX was slightly faster in real gaming, but slower in some compute tasks.
