That would be a shame.

When the PS3 came out, it was just as powerful as a PC.

Now PCs are more than 10 times that.

But if the NEXT GEN console is just as powerful as a X360, it means it'll be 10 times less powerful than modern PCs.

That would be a full load of bullcrap. There's no reason at all to limit the graphic performance of home consoles this much. If this is true, then fuck nintendo.

No it was not. The PC's of that time were Crysis one level. The PS3 and 360 are just now getting it and they had to horribly down grade the game to do it even with the knowledge of how to work the system that they have now.

PCs of the time weren't close to Crysis level, not until the 8800 series did PCs overtake consoles in graphics performance, it was a huge leap over the previous generation of GPUs which consoles were bassed on. Playing crysis above medium at a decent resolution at 30fps was only possible on a 8800GTS or better.
