ELI5: How are graphics still improving on consoles that dated hardware compared to gaming PCs?

Just looking at GTA V stuff and this came up.  You would think with hardware that is 8 years old that things would have plateaued a while ago.  What is going on?  Are things becoming more efficient than I thought, hence the improvements?

Edit: Forgot to put "have" in the title, sorry!

Its pretty simple really. Think about legos. When you first start playing with them you can build some stuff, a car, maybe a house. After three years of using legos youve gotten pretty good. You can build the big sets no problem, your still following patterns and diagrams but your improving alot. After six years of playing with legos, your the master now ; capable of building complex pieces just using your imagination and some creative uses of novelty pieces you can build whatever you damn well please.
