If you build a PC from scratch maybe but lets not give the PS4/X1 more credit then they deserve. They are not using an 8core desktop CPU and a dedicated 3GB DDR5 graphics hard with 32 gigs of system RAM.
They have a CPU/GPGPU combo built into a single chip. RAM must be split between the OS and the CPU and GPU.
BF4 devs are already have issues getting the game on par to the PC version and it at most asks for a quad core PC.
Now if I want to upgrade to next gen I don't need to start from scratch on my PC. I can use my old keyboard and mouse, HDD, tower, Power supply, RAM if I choose, or even my GPU if I choose.
I can buy an 8 core CPU and Mobo on Newegg for less than 400 that blows both away.
It is funny to me that people want to act like these consoles are using desktop PC parts. Like Sony could get all of that and 8gigs of DDR5 and sell it for 400.00 when the people that actually make those parts for PCs cant sell them at that price.
Also add in the price of online when figuring in cost of your PC. For the cost of a next gen console over 10 years that is 800-1000.00 I could spend on upgrades. If you cant build a superior PC with that then I wonder if you really are a PC guy at all.
5 minutes on New egg I could find a pre built package for 500-800 with dedicated CPU and dedicated GPU that will be superior to any console.
