| FrancisNobleman said: 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 ? |
Yes, if you spend enough money, the cost:performance ratio will be in the PS4's favor but the raw power will be much lower on the PS4. Generations on consoles are not defined by graphics, that's just game devs' arrogance working inside their heads. Wii U is 8th gen much like how humans give birth. Just because your grandson is going to be retarded(not literally saying you are a grandfather obviously), it doesn't mean he's from the year 2000 or 3000BC.
If you want more of a graphics generation definition, use the PC one, since the power doubles every year on the GPU front.
