It doesn't bother me at all. High-end PCs will always be more advanced than consoles. The people who bring this up all the time are just making themselves look silly by harping on the obvious.

The point of consoles isn't to have a higher upper limit than PC, which is why it's a puzzling thing to obsess over. When I buy a PS4, it won't be because I'm trying to have the best graphics in the world, but because I want a dedicated gaming device in my living room that is quick to power up, easy for even novices to operate, doesn't require complex compatibility steps, and has access to exclusive Playstation content.

Really, as someone who is about 50% PC gamer and 50% console gamer, I don't understand why it's even an issue. I already have three working PCs in my house; what I'm looking for in a console is a different experience from that.

The way I see it, the PS4 is like the new Corvette that was unveiled recently. If people are comparing that to Porches and Mustangs, then that makes sense, but do you honestly see anyone saying, "yeah, but F1 race cars are faster"? No, because it would be stupid. They are different beasts designed to satisfy different needs.

The problem is your wrong.  You cant build a new corvette ( as you put it ) from mid range Chevy Impala parts.. Like it or not the PS4 is using an x86 proccesor.. The same architecture that PC's use.. This means it can run windows.. The Ps4 is also using DDR memory - same kind as Pc... The ps4 is using the exact same hard drive that is found in a laptop pc ... And now the PS4 is using a mid range  radeon gpu found in PC's- which radeons have been a name in the PC market since they came out in 1999... Just because you love Sony and they put out a new console with a PS4 sticker on it doesnt mean its a corvette.. More or less it proves the pc has always been better for gaming.. Why do you think all the xbox's have been more or less PC?  So yeah compared to last gen the new Next xbox and PS4 are corvettes.. But being they are basically PC's they are just average compared to 1000 gaming machines that use more powerful cpu's and more powerful higher end Radeon gpus

I've read your reply three times and I don't even know what your point is--except, perhaps, you struggle with the nebulous nature of analogies?  You ... wanted me to use a different car than a Corvette?  OK?  Just pretend I said a Focus or a Sentra, whatever makes you happy.
