You got your timings confused. The 8800GT didn't come out until the end of 2007. That's a full 2 years after the launch of the 360. It hasn't been a full 2 years since the launch of these consoles. Let's see what a $200 card can offer in November of this year eh? It was a legendary beast though. The 8800GT was unstoppable in it's time.

Also, it seems I got the 280x and 280 confused. I thought the 280 was the replacement for the 7970, but it's actually the replacement for the 7950 and the 280x is the replacement for the 7970. Strange naming scheme.... Anyway it can be had for around $189 after rebates. That's not too premium a price but a little more than I thought they were going for and yeah, performs around 70% better than a PS4 afaik.

Sure but don't expect it to change much since transistor price scaling has come to a halt ... 

Err, I'm not sure where your getting your numbers from but according to AT the 7950 is only around 40% faster than the 7850 ...
