A 7850 "low-end last gen"? Definitely not.

Also, read the edit. The entirety of these machines, at worst, are mid-ranged PCs. 

I said "lower mid-end" for the last generation of GPUs (2 years ago), not low-end.

By today's standards, it's one of the lower-specced mid-end GPUs available to purchase. The 7870, 7950, 7970, 270x, 280x, 290x, 670, 680, 760, 770, and 780 are all better options than the 7850, which puts in firmly in the lower mid-end GPU market.

Yes, I made the correction when re-reading. See the edit.

Anyway, by today's standards, I agree about the 7850 (though, as I said, it's still considered a mid-ranged card, lower-end or otherwise). This still keeps, at least the PS4, comparable to mid-ranged PCs (the total package, not just the graphics card). The 8GB of GDDR5 also helps.

True. It is technically on the lower end of a mid-range card, but if you take the entire package, especially, I'm not sure I'd agree. The PS4 uses a 8 core AMD CPU, which is considerably weaker than the CPUs found in most mid-end PCs (Intel i5). Core for core, it gets destroyed by intel, and in gaming only 6 cores and 5.5 GBs of RAM are usable anyway, which puts it considerable behind most mid-end PCs, which have 8 GBs of DDR3 RAM and 2-3 GBs of dedicated DDR5 RAM.
