My definition of a PC gamer in this discussion is the gamer that will care about the same games than a console gamer do and wants to play them as smooth and with as much eye candy as possible.

That's why I told you before that it's not the same a "gaming PC" than a "PC than can also play games".

The PC gamer that wants to play the games as smooth as possible is not the same as the average gamer then because the average gamer will not spend 200+$ every 18 months on a new GPU or CPU or Ram.

The fact that game development have shifted towards console so much this gen, and it will keep this way next gen too, means that PC hardware isn't puched as hard as it was before, making your "the average gamer will not spend 200+$ every 18 months on a new GPU or CPU or Ram" sentence completely wrong.

Anyone who owns a i5 2500K CPU or an HD7870 GPU can easily keep them for more than 3 years and still be able to play all the games at the same or better graphical options than their console counterparts. Heck, anyone with an HD4870 or GTX260 can still play all the actual games at a higher resolution, with better graphics or both things at the same time, and those cards are 5 years old!

That's why cards like the HD79xx or Nvidia's GTX670 and higher are reviewed and compared using 3 screens, at "only" 1080p they give more than 100 fps.

And if there is no correlation between the console budget and the PC badget, how on earth are we comparing these two ?

PC - ultra high (highest possible settings)
PS4 - High
XBOne - Med-High
WiiU - Low.

Hypothetical ideal PC - ultra high (highest possible settings)

WiiU - Low.

Because that's a way of explaining the possible difference between the graphics that each console will be able to give us.

You can take the PC on those comparisons if you want, the fact that PS4 has a better GPU and a faster RAM will mean that, unless there is something else that we don't know (and I'm not talking about the cloud), PS4 will have better graphics than the Xbone and a lot better than WiiU.
