Totally different architectures and not comparable. Case in point you can't compare the shader cores from Turing to Ampere to define performace. And the same goes from Ampere to Big Navi. We can't make a valid result until we have the consoles tested or Big Navi GPU's . And even then its nonsensical to compare PC parts to a whole system. That and consoles always punch above their weight due to optimisation.
The whole point is if we were to wait around another year for a new console, we probably wouldn't even have a more competitive GPU from AMD and Nvidia would have release Ampere with no competitor, again. And we wouldn't have the prices from Nvidia we have today, who have been very aggressive this generation.
If we have waited longer, it wouldn't have made a difference. Neither consoles would have gone to Nvidia for their consoles. AMD don't have the R&D resources like Nvidia, who spend billions on that alone a year. Sony and Microsoft collaborated with AMD for the R&D of RDNA 2 (and beyond) much like this gen of consoles.
Additionally, adding another year or two means games being delayed. And nobody got time for that. We get to play games like Demons Souls, God Of War 5 and FFXVI earlier... I know I'd rather have it released this year than 2021/22 :P
