It is a realistic take on the progression of console processing capability given the amount of time it takes a $3000 workstation to render a single frame of pre-rendered animation.

Animation is rendered on network linked farms, and even with that level of processing power, cinema grade graphics can't be rendered in real time with current GPUs and CPUs, so it doesn't take any math to see that it will be quite a while before one can realistically expect a box that retails for $400 to do the work that hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of networked computer workstations currently cannot.
