720p is still a pitiful resolution considering the base-minimum on PC is 1650x1050.

Actually the 8800GTX could hammer the crap out of the PS3 and 360. Then obviously a year later the 8800GT was released and that could still hammer the crap out of both the 360 and PS3. 

You are forgetting that BF3 and Crysis 3 on the PS3 and 360 are running at low resolutions on medium at best. A card can last you a gen as they have a power advantage, as in literally a power advantage. You can chuck 300W at a PC GPU without sweating, 500W system load no problem. You can't do that with a console due to heat contraints. 

PC has exclusives though to make yo for it...Ever heard of World of Warcraft? Starcraft? Planetside 2? The power of exclusives now is more a matter of taste than anything else.


No doubt a $600+ graphics card can last you a gen (even though graphics will degrade as the years go by while console graphics get better over the same span of time).


Well where do you draw the line? PC cards have become more $ efficient as time has gone on, so by the time the PS4 is released, a gaming PC that will surpass it will probably only be a little bit more expensive. It's just the nature of the market. As I said, only a year after the PS3 game out, the 8800GT was released, which is still a viable gaming card and surpasses the consoles.
