Most of the article is on AAA development as a whole but I found it interesting the comments about consoles in general.

One major argument for consoles is still that there is a single unified platform that gives better bang-for-buck than PC of the same price, and that studios can dev and optimize their games on more easily.

That's definitely true. But I would argue every additional "unit" of graphical improvement is becoming more and more expensive to the point where the relative benefits associated with a single unified platform are not as impactful as they once were.
