I'm not sure about the weakness of next gen consoles. They may look like a low spec-ed PC but the code will be for the hardware. Remember the original Xbox was also just a very very weak PC. It had a 733MHz CPU and its GPU was in the GF2MX range. I think it even only had 64MB of memory. PC ports of Xbox games required quite a bit more than that.
Still I'd expect 1080P gaming to be the target of this next generation of consoles and you can build a pretty damn cheap machine that games well at 1080P.
