Outer World game design are held back by PS4 and Xbox One , another prove that Next gen will be held back by current gen if games are made for cross gen

In reality the game is held back because big budget PC exclusives don't generate enough money.
They could've easily skipped the consoles and realized their vision if it wasn't for trying to make a decent profit.
But as we know there isn't a point in creating a game that only one super computer on earth can run, so you have to make compromises. There will always be something that is holding back other systems.
