Its hard to give a fair assessment. Console development is frozen in time, where PC development is ever evolving. When Sony took to making the PS4 with certain specs, they were frozen in time, as the PC continued to get stronger and faster.
The PS4 will be somewhat as powerful as my 2011 PC rig - my specs are 6 core (6x 3.2 ghz) AMD, 16 Gb ram, radeon 5790 with 1 Gb vram. For another $180, I can get a vid card that's significantly stronger than my current one.
Overall, not a bad setup for 2011 at all, built for $500, with 3 Tb storage. I've not had a need to upgrade anything in it yet, I've been happy with the way it plays games, edits indie films and runs adobe after effects processing. =)
