I'd say the recommended req of a blockbuster game, eg: Core i7-3770 3.4 GHz, 8GB RAM, GTX 670 / HD 7970.

8GB of RAM -  Check.

3770 @ 3.4GHz - Don't know how realistic it is to expect a CPU like this in current gen machines, so it's pointless to discuss.

GPU - Same conclusion as the CPU. Had the machines done either this combo, they would have been much more expensive and a rinse-and-repeat of last gen. No thanks.

I'd say the machines are only "underpowered" when scaled next to high-end/enthusiast PCs. Otherwise, they are fine for what they're going for. Most games that have released, especially current gen-only, look far better than what we could achieve on last gen consoles.

Those aren't enthusiast PC specs, imo are middle-high end. Anyway that is what they usually put as recommended system requirements for AAA titles. That's the standard they aim to, like it or not.
