Consoles are power limited compared to PCs as well. A PC might draw 250w on the GPU alone, but that's the entire system load on something like the Xbox One X. The very minimum to make this happen with a first gen Ryzen performance CPU with 8 cores that's been underclocked and power limited, a cut down GTX 1660 level GPU probably with 16gb of shared pool RAM (probably GDDR6, maybe HBM) and a 1tb SSD would come in at 500 or 600. It's a ballsy move to launch consoles at 500 but since the only people buying Playstations and Xboxes are "hardcore console gamers" who will buy it no matter what anyway, they can very well do it.
I don't think graphics will be getting too much better, primarily because it's a cost/benefit situation. RDR2 is probably gonna be one of those new benchmarks for a while, all you'll get is roughly that level with a few extra polygons and larger textures tacked on it.
