As @ OfficialJsP stated, they aren't "Next Gen" consoles anymore. They are "current gen". The Generation has already arrived, and has been here for a while. At this point, the "next gen" consoles are whatever will end up being the PS5 and XBTwo. OT: Seems to be a mixture of two things: 1. Poor optimizations. More performance patches should help with the frame drops. 2. Devs trying to do too much on the Console Version. Will this be the death of the consoles? Lol. No. As much as we dislike them, many PC gamers are getting by with even worse hardware. We might see this generation end sooner than the last did (Which lasted way too long to begin with) though. I personally expect the next gen consoles will show up after 4 or 5 years from the release of the PS4/XBO. Remember that they've been out for two years already. I could see them being replaced with newer, more powerful consoles in about another two years. I think they would be able to hang on for at least that much longer. Agreed. They've been out for two years. They are "current gen", not "next gen".
It seems the issue is related to physics. Most of this happens on the CPU, and those components tend to be weaker in consoles. Developers have raised concerns before about CPUs limiting performance.
