consoles will never be on par with PC due to how fast technology advances and due to how consoles specs are lock down and can never be changed

At launch? All previous consoles were on pair with the TOP PC at launch.

After that the PC became more strong with the years.

then prove it to me compare the 360 specs to a 2005 gaming PC

He sorta has a point in that its GPU, x1800 series R520 was on par with the best GPU, the GeForce 7800GTX, but costed more (least in December).

Now my question to ethomaz is how much did the R520 cost on PC at launch?

Currently the GTX 680 is priced at $460-$500.  Of course when bought in bulk the price can be lowered but we're looking at a GPU that will cost alonenear or more than the launch premium 360 price.  We can take a good guess that Microsoft's new console will be sold at a loss but unless they release a +$600 console with a planned GTX 680 or on par GPU the loss would be too great even for Microsoft to logically do if priced lower.
