Its called optimization. While you would think that a console limits a game developers ability to make a great looking game, its actually the opposite, because the designers only have to optimize one type of system (or two, or four depending on multi console releases and cross generation releases)
Compare this to the PC where you have several different major graphics card manufactures with dozens of different cards, dozens of cpu manufacturers, and half a dozen operating systems.
When PC game makers can make a game that looks as good as The Last of Us, and do it on 6 year old hardware (at the time), then I’ll be impressed. As it stands, PC games aren’t any better, even MMO’s can run on a console and still look good.
……..
But yeah, good luck new Bungie employee, maybe Destiny will actually have a story now!

optimization only works if you do things right. You cannot optimize a wrong solution.
Console does something right like allowing game devs have power over gpu memory management.
