Actually, given that you need some 3x as much power from 540p to 1080p, it is.

I would even go as far as to suggest 5TFLOPS for console is ok (given that next PS/XBOX are expected to be around 15TFLOPS, so that would give 3rd parties enough power to make ports), and with additional settings adjustment, both 0.5TFLOPS and 5TFLOPS versions would be able to have same Nintendo 1st party games.

The next ps/xbox are not expected to have 15 teraflops, not with the lower jump from 7th gen. Perhaps that's the max you could expect from a 9th gen console. And 3rd parties don't care about enough power to make ports, since they already have it an don't port anyway.

7th to 8th jump was 8x-10x, depending on who you ask (google for links). By 2018/19 10nm node would be more than mature, and some may even argue that MSony might wait a bit longer for 7nm node...so yes, they are quite expected to have that much...I'd even say at least.

As for 3rd parties and power - if you have all 3 systems that have the same architecture, 2 of them in the same ballpark, and for 3rd all they have to do is lower resolution and few settings (which is what I and some others are suggesting), then yes, they will make ports, because they would be very easy to make.

Current situation is far from that, it is always combination of 2 factors, user base and power, and lot of devs have said that, but we've been over this a million times on this site, so forgive me for having no intent of beating that dead horse again...I've been doing that couple of years ago with certain user, by the name of Zero999, of which your...let's say...style of posting reminds me quite a bit. ;)
