Would you rather have spent more $ for more powerful 8th gen consoles?

When you consider you can get a pretty darn better console for the cost of around 2 games extra I'll always think it's worth it. This was easily the weakest gen we've had yet in terms of hardware.

I often hear this from some people, but context is key. In comparsion to what? 

Probably compared to the power of their predecessors. The performance jump from PS1 to PS2 or from PS2 to PS3 was much bigger than from PS3 to PS4 (which is inevitable with growing complexity and limits in power consumption).

But even compared to PC GPUs available at console launch, the console performance gains have slowed down. In 2005/2006 the Xbox360 and PS3 easily beat a $600 GPU (GeForce 7800 GTX) by raw power. In 2013 the PS4 barely reached a $200 GPU (GTX 660) and the Xbox One was even below that:
