lol at Yerli.

Come back when you can show a PC game that looks better than Uncharted 2.

At this point PC is not even half a generation ahead of HD consoles. And after all it shouldn't, since this console gen is only 4 years old (PS3) - or 5 if you wanna count X360's very premature headstart - and it launched with the strongest and priciest hardware ever.

Usually a console gen is 6 years, so we won't even see PC hardware on that level until Fall 2011 at the earliest - and when speaking actual PC games we don't even have a powerful next-gen game engine publically shown yet (CryEngine 3 is current gen).

Hahaha, are you serious? PC hardware's blown the current consoles out of the water since the 8800GT was launched, and is light years ahead at the moment. The whole point of the interview is that no one's really taking advantage of it.

You do know that a gaming/console generation is 6 years right? (While a graphics card generation is on average 12-18 months but that's not what Yerli is talking about.)

And hardware power doubles at every 18 months but it hasn't managed to do that in the 4-5 years since this console gen started. So each gen is 16 times more powerful than the last.

But a PC with Core i7 with a GTX 580 is not even close of being 16 times as powerful as a X360 or PS3.
