This sounds like a compromise thread. MS and Sony next gen systems should be on par with gaming PCs. We must hit the graphics wall

Will not happen.  The price would be through the roof if it was like that.  Sure it could prob get up to BF3 graphicly on PC  but a lot of that is because game devlopers don't directly develop for PC.

You do have to admit it would be lovely to see a home console pull off BF3 on Ultra. ;)

Oh, I'd love to see Zelda, Uncharted and Halo running at CryEngine 3 level with full effects/highest possible settings/60fps/1080p (or higher).  But unfortunately that's not a scenario that's going to happen with consoles in the 8th gen.
