How do you understand the hierarchy of mainstream gaming consoles based on their graphical power? This list is my understanding based on my experience as a gamer and reading about the history of the industry. I don't claim to fully understand all the specs that go into making determinations of graphical power. I know its not an exact science either as different consoles can have strength in different areas.

The purpose of this thread is to gauge how others think about how the consoles relate to each other based on graphical capabilities. I am not sure if I'm correct and welcome any corrections or discussion.

Edit: Some changes made based on thread discussion.
