| Gehirnkrampf said: i think it is fact that PS4 and XBox One won't hold up with PCs as long as previous gen managed to do. After all, they use the same architecture as standard PCs, which means a increase in the quality of development tools and programming skills, and multithreading knowhow and so on gained from console programming also affects PC development. but the PC evolves in hardware. So maybe it won't take another 8 years until we see PS5 or Xbox... Two? |
Nicht so schnell, freund. See, the fact consoles used a different architecture before doesn't mean they were better, you can optimize in ways you can't for the PC all the same on an x86 console. Besides, PCs are starting to evolve slowly. GPUs, HDDs and RAM have all but unspokenly shifted to a 3-year Moore cycle. Also, diminishing returns. Overall consoles should probably last the same, if not even longer.
