I think they are powerful enough. They should play games with PC level effects ( at high quality, not ultra) at 1080p for maybe two more years. After that I suspect they'll look like medium level PC games at 1080p/sub-1080p. For most people who only have 1080p displays, that should be good enough. At that time, mid-ranged gaming PC's should be able to do the same graphics at higher framerates and 1440p though, and high-end PC's at 4k. The interesting thing about PC's is that the prices for their components to achieve console quality graphics are decreasing immensely. You can buy an r9 280 for $150 and it will exceed anything the consoles put out, for example. In 2007, that wasn't possible. That is why console gaming seems to not have gone so far, it's losing its edge in price-per-performance.This is especially true when you consider the cost of an online subscription and how long its performance will last you versus a PC, while also considering upgradeability of PC's has become easier and cheaper.
