False. No console would match a high end PC. A generic one will do just fine for the PS4 and next Xbox.

I think everyone is forgetting the garden demo. The Wii U should be able to handle anything that is out on PC right now at high setting. The next Sony and Microsoft consoles will need hardware that cost nearly 3 to 4 times as much as the Wii U to get double its performance because its. The gap will honestly be no bigger than it was with the PS2, GC and Xbox.

Also, lets get this fact into your head. The strongest console has "NEVER" in the history of gaming been the best selling. It was almost always the weakest.

PS4 and the Nextbox don't need to double the performance of WiiU to be better. They can have "only" 50% more power AND a lot more RAM (4GB) to make bigger and better games (technically), and those games would be very hard to make or even imposible to port to WiiU.

Mind you, I think they will try to do the same as last gen and do another big jump in specs instead of a big step, but just because they don't want to be beaten by the other. It's like the cold war, but in consoles.

Oh, and just because the strongest console has never won until now, it doesn't mean that it won't change the next time.
