The PS4 isn't going to out "power" even current gaming pcs. |
Before we get to anything else, you have to define this.

I'm refering to the pure hardware potential that the best gaming pcs of today have. PC game devs might not tap that power, but it is there. If a PC dev made a game and an engine specificly for only the best video card, the most RAM, and the best CPU it would be the most amazing gaming graphics any of us have ever seen. Nvidia's tech demos are jaw droping, but they only take into account the video card specificly. The PS4 and Nextbox have the whole "closed system" advantage, but the truth of the matter is that a killer gaming PC today has the raw processing power to out "graphics" anything the PS4 and Nextbox could dish. It is just unlikely to happen because PC devs have to support the lowest common denominator or risk cutting out the sales to customers with older and less powerfull hardware.

Yeah, theoretically, it would be, but that's not what this dev was arguing against. Most gaming PCs don't have graphics cards in them that would destroy a PS4.

Agree that most PC's don't have the power to compete with the PS4 and Nextbox. But when I hear the term Gaming PC I don't think of the cheap Dell your Grandma uses for e-mail. I think of machines like mine, that would blow away the PS4/Nextbox graphics IF a game was designed for it in the same way as a 1st party exclusive console title.
That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying the dev in the OP is wrong. I was just pointing out that gaming pcs today have the raw power to do amazing things if given the opportunity. Unfortunately that opportunity is so rare it's hard to remember a game made only for high end PCs. Crysis is the best example, I can think of and even it was still made to run on lower end hardware.
