When will pc graphics start to really outpace console (this gen) graphics?

well yeah PC is better, but the gap is definitely getting thinner...

soon PCs will get life like graphics (almost is on the forest pictures) and consoles will folow... all that will be left will be :
_ the ability to zoom and not loose quality
_ density of the area (more ennemies, trees)
_ animation of more objects
_ perfecting light effects

that's about it.... in 20 years your only difference will be running 120 fps or 150 fps....

that is why consoles need motion control and other inovations... otherwise they can't have a next gen!

exactly, consoles must differentiate themselves from PC, or else they'll be crushed, as there will be no need for consoles when a PC can play anything that consoles do, and do even more.

Well, it can't play first party exclusives, no matter how powerful it gets it.

I doubt we'll be seeing LBP on it anytime soon, or maybe the new Zelda game?

Of course, you could always steal them.

Of course, I could steal console games off the back of a truck, and argue that console games are free.

Also, lol, when graphics reach diminishing returns(this generation) to an extent that can't be surpassed by developers due to costs(next generation) and when the PC no longer has the weak, graphics argument as a crutch, how exactly will console gaming be crushed when consoles do everything the PC does, and have motion controls, first party exclusives, and differentiated features, yet require no upgrading, and maintain virtually equal graphics, while being cheaper, being plug and play, being piracy free, and selling single player games at a much much faster and more consistant rate?

What then whopsided argument guy?

When exactly will the PC crush console gaming?

1998?

Let's hear more about this. Let's hear about PC gaming and all its great strengths. I think I've lain out my argument pretty well in this thread. Obvious truths have a way of totally ripping apart speculation.

Now, shio, do you really think your argument could withstand scrutinization?

How bout mine?

Wanna give it a try?

Because what ends up happening, is I lay out a very valid argument as to why PC gaming isn't as dominant as it once was, and why the future isn't nearly as bright as most of the entheusiasts paint it out to be.

Then you respond with a whole lot of nonsensical arguments, and that response gets lost in a shuffle of words, and its weakness never really gets the credit it deserves. This is upsetting. I've done a lot of research and reasoning to tear down most of the spin surrounding PC gaming, and your on the spot spur of the moment damage control serves to marginalize it, simply because what, most people are skimming, and assume you gave a valid retort?

No.

I highly suggest anyone just joining us to go back a few pages, and read my initial posts. Not to toot my own horn, but they're very insightful.
