Sorry it's difficult to find a good comparison between an HD5850 and a modern day card so i guess i could have been a bit off(what site is that btw?), especially since the progress moves exponentially.

Also since PS3/360 launched power consumption of high end gpu's has more than doubled, so part of the performance gain is simply from amping the juice(and therefore making these chips less usable in small form factor consoles).

The power consumption of the GTX 460, 660 and 960 are almost the same (220 Watt for the whole system), the power consumption of the GTX x70-series also stayed about the same over the years (280 - 290 Watt for the whole system, only exception is the less consuming GTX 670):

3 years after PS4 we have the GTX 970 which is about twice as fast with about the same amount of video memory.

10 months after PS4 we already had the GTX 970: (PS4-launch: 11/2013, GTX970-launch: 09/2014). Even now the PS4 hasn't rerached its second "birthday"!

 


Yeah sorry about that, i meant the hd78xx gpu inside the PS4 is 3 year old hardware. And a GTX 470 uses up to 200W for the card only, GTX 4
60 up to 160W but that card wasn't high end. An Geforce 7800/7900 series card(as used in the PS3) used about 80W and as low as 50W for the 7900 GT.
