re: Sony to block second hand games on PS4

Your problem is that you believe hardware and results have a 1-to-1 correlation. And my argument isn't and has never been that we haven't maxed out consoles and we could still make improvements.
Its that inferior hardware (from a strictly apples to apples comparison) running in a specific and well-known configuration (like a PS3) can equal and sometimes, outperform, superior hardware running in a generalized configuration (like your PC). Some reasons that this is possible have been outlined above, although that is by no means an exhaustive discussion.
And yes, at the current time, hardware has advanced enough that modern gaming PCs can easily outperform their circa 2005 console brethren. But this is not always (and has not always) been the case. And I'm sorry this doesn't easily fit in to the benchmark tools you are so fond of.

And your example of Mario is very ironic. Since it is a classic example of a console outperforming the PCs at the time.
I believe it was John Carmack who was the first person to create a similar side-scrolling game on a PC many years later.

That is only the case for very slightly superior hardware. Your argument that consoles are not outdated relies on a 3 year old console competing with an up-to-date pc. That's a joke, and you should be embarrassed for even suggesting it.
