The CPU on xbox one/ps4 is very weak. Developers have to sacrifice physics.

The whole point of PhysX is to run it on the GPU.

That's not true at all. PhysX comes with a CPU solver by default, and using the GPU version comes with significant restrictions in customising the behaviour. Unreal Engine games (when they used to use PhysX) were all CPU based, for example.
