This argument just isn't true. Although this generation started out with lower end hardware, right now the gap between PS4 and even Xbox One compared to current PC hardware is actually smaller than it was between PS360 and PC in say 2008.
In 2008 you could buy a HD48xx series card for between $200 and $300 which were around 5 times faster than PS360. You could even buy and HD4870x2 for $399 which was able to achieve 2000 gflops. That's PS4 level power, in 2008!
So right now what do we have? Even extremely high end cards off over $600 and that use more power than a complete PS4 and Xbox One console combined are only around 4 times faster than current gen consoles. So even with much more expensive cards available the gap has actually schrunk, with current gen consoles being cheaper and actually profitable.
