This is not accurate. Because console hardware is locked in and fixed, it benefits from coding refinements over it's lifetime much more so than your PC GPU. Also the console API's (the low level language that talks to the hardware) are much more efficient than what we run on Windows. Having said that, this generation the PS4/Xbone are running Radeon based graphics (GCN architecture), so the coding efficiencies will transfer over to PC side (at least if you are running AMD hardware) more readily than in the past.
AMD does have an API called Mantle that promises to bring the console efficiencies to the PC side, will be interesting to see how that shakes out.
