Consoles are holding this game back (graphically)

Honestly, read the article, graphics aren't the way they are just because of console, it's because of creating an environment in which graphics don't overshadow focus on making an actual game not just something that is visually appealing.

I find it incredibly difficult to believe a player character only had 1,000 polygons.

Indeed. My sentiments exactly. I think the shader count like I said previously was the bigger thing they were pointing at.

Basically I think it was misinterpreted, I think they meant "HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THIS SHADER COUNT ON THIS 1K FLOWER POT!" That is just speculation on my part. Doesn't mean the 1k wasn't a little high for the subject matter but ... meh.

Off Topic: The wasteful tris I have seen in my experience would blow your mind though. This pot pales in comparison to the crap I have seen lol General rule: if it doesn't help the silhouette, you don't need it. (Obviously there is quite a few exceptions to this, that I won't bother rambling on anymore about the topic of asset creation & optimization.)
