With the mid-gen refreshes that "generational leap" is a bit complicated... they'd have to wait a decent while before they could vastly outperform the Xbox 1 X while maintaining affordability.

I imagine the next generation of consoles will not be an enormous upgrade over the Xbox 1 X/PS4 Pro, but will still be substantially better. As they say in the video, the true "generational leap" will be when compared to the original models, and specifically will see a big improvement in the processors and memory.

Also, my lord look at that like/dislike bar on that video... Fanboys can be ridiculous, that was a very level-headed and informative video. Why is everyone so anxious for some miracle box to release so soon anyway? The Pro and Xbox 1 X already offer some very impressive visuals if that matters so much to you.

No. First off, not all TFs are equal. Basically 6TF on a polaris/vega architecture is very different from 6TF in a navi architecture.

Then there is also the fact that as far as GPU rendering, not all things scale up proportionately. Like next gen cosnoles wouldn't be pushing significantly more triangles than the current gen, not cause they can't but cause they don't need to. So that extra power would be going to other places or areas that the current gen consoles simply cant handle.

And most importantly, next gen CPU and memory will make all the difference.
