Is the day of unique consoles mostly over?

[Soundwave]

Lets just by magic you had a console-viable chipset that could render even Avatar 2 type visuals in real time for $600. You're not magically going to get movie quality graphics like say Avatar 2 in real time without there being a massive cost behind that (1 billion dollar budget? 2 billion? Unlike movies games have to have full environments, you can't just cheat whatever is in the frame).

In the relative future that just isn't realistic, even if the hardware existed to do that in real time (it doesn't, not even close), developers don't have 1-2 billion + 10+ year dev cycles it would take to even use such hardware properly.

And honestly most people don't even care, which makes the whole pursuit even more pointless.
