ELI5: Why is it that a 7 year old console with only 512 MB of ram can run modern games with pretty decent graphics?

A lot of corners are cut to make it possible. Low resolution, low fps, blurs, pop-in, low view distance.

GTA V taxes a console to its complete limit, and that took 7 years of the industry figuring out tricks for that specific piece of hardware. Still, it suffers from all the above problems.

The only reason you call it decent and modern, is because you haven't seen what PC is capable of.
