What if developers had access to 100% of the power in the consoles?

While I agree that we've regressed over the last two gens and that the migration from dedicated console to multimedia hub has led to a lot of misplaced priorities, I don't believe that access to more power would lead to better games. Developers have never had more horsepower than they do right now, yet games in general have degraded in quality over the last nine years.

If you're just talking performance, then yes, I'm all for scraping the superfluous apps to produce a more seamless game experience. But more power isn't the key to unlocking gaming greatness.
