Yeah, I know all that, bit still. Consoles used to be crazy fast machines for little money back in the days. And now they are kinda outdated the very day they are released. With just standard PC parts and little to no of that sweet sweet secret sauce. All that stuff was just way more exciting in the 90s and 2000s, if you know what I mean. 

I'm not really sure what your point is. I mean even if these current consoles aren't incredibly powerful they're still very capable, I'd argue they're aging better than last gen consoles.

I mean what if 8th gen consoles had double the CPU power, 16GB of RAM and a GPU with 3-4 TF at launch? Would gaming right now be much more enjoyable? I think it would be pretty much the same just with better performance and graphics. Compared to last gen developers got a huge spec boost for the 8th gen but the games are basically the same with better graphics in my opinion.

However, I do like the spec boost of the X1X simply because its making modern console games more visually appealing.

You don't think the scale increased? That's the one big difference I noticed from last gen is how much bigger the average levels/worlds in all the games are. That and how they stuff them full of more more items/objects/animations/clutter.

Even linear games/franchises seem to have gone semi if not fully open-world.
