I was talking with some friends about gaming, and then among the dreaded discussion about whether or not the Wii U is next gen, a friend made this point:

"Well, for those who consider the Wii U last gen because of PS4 specs, then those same future owners of a PS4, will buy later in the year a console that is last gen compared to the pc rig I already have back home." While it sounded like a valid point by judging specs - the only metric people use to rule out Wii U from any next gen party - I wonder if such a thing is even possible.

So:

Can someone own today a PC that blows next gen consoles out of the water in such orders of magnitude that those consoles are instantly rendered last gen even before going on sale ?
