What Blow forgets is that unlike consoles PCs evolve and improve their hardware over time.

Sure, with the ability to code directly on metal (or almost)  on consoles their hardware can produce a lot more than what the same hardware can do on a PC, and in 4 years we'll see games running on the PS4/nextbox with better performace than on an actual mid-high end PC. But what he doesn't say is that PC hardware will keep improving and it won't be long before PCs outperform consoles, like always have happened.

The PC improving at long of the year is not that big like every PC gamer seems to be. The latest biggest graphical leap in PC was Crysis (2007) and after that what we saw was the console development holding the PC development.

In fact the best PC game to date - Crysis 3 (2013) - is only a little better than the original Crysis (2007).

Now with the PS4 and Nextbox... PC gamers will see a big graphical leap in the next years.

True, but that hasn't stopped PC version games to be able to be played at higher resolutions (2560x1400, Eyefinity and Surrond) and at a higher framerate than the console version of those games with more AA and other effects.

The next consoles being more powerful will only mean that PC games will also look better and with time also run better.
