Bro chill out. A gaming PC from 06 will be able to out perform the 360 and PS3 if you consider neither one of those really plays games like CoD at 720p. When you actually make a gaming PC output the same visuals as a console, your framerates rocket. The fact is nowadays the average GPU is miles ahead of anything in the consoles, same with the CPU's. Due to temperature constraints, you aren't going to get the same raw horse power in a console as you can on a card. For example, the GTX Titan is over x2 the power of the PS4 on one freakin' chip.
Don't get me wrong, the PS4 looks to be a truly amazing console and by the far the technically most forward thinking one to date, but spend a lil more cash and you will get a power house of a PC. Whether it's "better" or not is debatable. Personally the no-boot-up on the PS4 is a massive plus to me, yet Planetside 2 is such a beast of a game I'd hate to leave it behind.
I think that on release the PS4 will be the best value gaming machine out there, but lets not forget a PC does pretty much everything - it's not limited to films and games. But after say 2 years, a PC will once again be more powerful. What people should be praising though is that hopefully we'll see a massive leap in graphics and gameplay as processing power on the PS4 is so high it should translate to the top-range PC hardware really well.

Nopes but Killzone 2/3 or Halo are played at 720p. An average card from 2006 can't play the demanding games that came out this year or the last. The other guy's X1900, for example. No way it can run BF3 or Crysis 3. So, a card doesn't last you a gen.
PC has pretty much everything except when it comes to the exclusives that Sony releases and that's its major drawback.

The x1900 GT is stronger than the 6450. A card lasted me a gen, so you can cover your ears if you want, but my friend this IS how the world works.
Look, I am not gonna get mad because I used to be like you. I assumed PC's were always overpriced because all of DELL's and HP's were. But then I got into computers and found out I was wrong.
The fact is PC parts have gotten rediculously more affordable in the past 3 years. They are in the same price/performance range as consoles now and that is reality. However I do want to say that I am not saying you have to have a PC or you are stupid if you don't. But people who have chosen PC's, are not stupid or bad with money. They have simply chosen a different path that is a slightly less user friendly, but far more open and full of posibilities.
I serously hope a few people at least get that is the point of this post, and accept it.
Also thank you Mazty!

The x1900 GT lasted you a whole gen? Here's how it plays 2008 games (GTA4 & NFS:Undercover):

Dude GTA4 was one of the worst ports ever made for the PC...I'm running a GTX 560 Ti with a AMD 940 @ 3.2Ghz and I'm sure as hell not getting decent frame rates yet I can max out pretty much anything else with no issues. Using GTA4T is a wholly unfair comparison. Plus the operton CPU? Eh? That's just a bad choice in CPU right there...
