Okay, AMD: Stop making new graphics cards. Stop the market churn, let it get uniform and predictable and then let developers catch up and start stretching the metal. Remember, content has to catch up, too, and that's several years worth of effort.
But in the mean time, your competitors are going to eat your lunch.
That's what consoles do. They provide a large, uniform ecosystem which makes it possible for developers to stretch performance without breaking the bank on testing or risking tens of millions of dollars on a buggy dud.
Any time you want to declare your graphics cards "a console," feel free to stop introducing higher powered hardware.
