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

They did? What developers have said this? And how were the machines "too weak at launch"? 

A CD Project dev hinted that they were expecting more power from XB1 and PS4, which is what lead to the Witcher 3 downgrade. Likewise, a former Ubisoft dev who worked on Watch Dogs said that they were expectng more power as well, which is what lead to the Watch Dogs downgrade.

There's also the fact that PS4 and XB1 were equivalent to mid-range PC's at release. 1300 gflops and 1800 gflops for XB1 and PS4, while the best PC GPU in 2013 had 5000+ gflops. Meanwhile, when 360 released in 2005, it had a 240 gflops GPU, while the best PC GPU at the time were around 260 gflops, a much smaller gap.

Ahh, this is interesting to hear. People were so upset by upgrades but turns out it's not even those developers fault lol

All those flops numbers are so revealing. The increase in hardware performance has really taken a drastic halt.
