Factor in that Xbox One and Ps4 did not use the best hardware available at the time of release, and that the top smartphones cost at least twice as much as the consoles.

 

Doesn't matter that the hardware was the best or mid-range or whatever. ARM and mobile makers love to spout this nonsense when the energy is not there in the mobile battery to pull those kind of processing power. My phone cost the same as 2 ps4 but i bet it cost sony (Xperia phone) less than what one ps4 cost. And the soc is usually like a 1/5 of total cost for a phone so your argument is not correct.
