I know a $299 console that could perform as well as a $2000 computer, and it was released with very similar constraints to the ones we face today.
The secret behind this console was that it used a shitload of ASIC parts to accelerate all the common operations to draw 3D graphics, so you used a lot less transistors per common operation, and could just shove more parallel hardware.

This could happen again.
It won't but it could.

/v/ros I'm so happy piracy exists, there's so many great games I never played on old systems that I literally never have to bother playing or paying for new slop if I don't want to. Also, general recommendation thread for older games and charts I guess.
