I think most people with a half-decent gaming PC would tell you that the difference is pretty significant, and that's based on multiplatform games that were designed around the HD consoles. With developer moving to designing games with extra power as the core, we'll be able to see the major differences that extra power gives.


I have one of those mid-range PCs. As little as a year ago, that was true in spades. Not so much anymore.

What do you mean? Not a lot has changed and Crysis 3, Battlefield 3 and Metro Last Light are clearly and significantly superior to anything on current gen consoles.

Because the Wii U matches a middle-power PC. It may be RAM-anemic, but it has added bonuses like eDRAM and sizable CPU caches. The upcoming Sony and Microsoft hardware matches a middle-high end PC. The question has changed from "can PC's be significantly better than gen 7?" to "can they be significantly better than gen 8?" The difference will always be there, but it's also shrinking with every generation.
