I think it's better to note the quality of the games that will come from the PS4, despite rigs that are 5-10x more powerful than it.

Taking just Killzone: ShadowFall, it looks better than 90% of my PC library. This is a launch title, at that. Imagine 2015, 2016, 2017 games.

And now imagine your PC in 2017 running Radeon HD X2850s. Will completely outclass the PS4.

and the less  than 1 % of PC gamers with them in their PC's .

Not really. I didn't make up a random number.  Under the current numbering system, that would be a mid range-high end card.

The thing is it doesn't matter most likely a year later the PS5  appears  and off we go again all it means is for around 2 years console games will be up there with the PC in terms of good looking games the main difference being resolutions above 1080P for the PC , then later we will see new effects and techniques that will be only able on PC .

We should be getting to the stage where it's about being able to run  running all the fancy stuff without the compromises that takes place now  in regards to AI and less confined game size , but things like the guy from the new Sony racing game talking about  leather trim reacting to you brushing against it  has me worried about priorities , then by PS5 could be earlier for PC instead of continuing along the same old path thenext big step  should be ray tracing .
