| Fayceless said: The glaring omission in this logic is cost. 10 years ago you didn't have $1000 graphics cards. Sure, a Titan can outperform a $400 console, good for it. There's no $400 PC that will ACTUALLY perform nearly as well as the PS4 or XB1. 'Actually' meaning, in the real world. Not some "ooh look at these 'comparable specs'" fantasy world. Consoles vs. PC is still pretty much the same as it has always been, the difference being more expensive cards are available now. |
Not entirely accurate, but rest assured I read your opinion. :)
Mantle will close the inefficiency gap of the PC's software stack, I.E. The PS4's Underclocked Radeon 7870 will perform almost the same as a PC's Radeon 7870 if the market plays out.
You can also buy a 6-7 year old Core 2 Quad complete PC these days second hand for about $200, overclock it to 3.6ghz+ and you're set.
Then all you need to do then is drop another $200 for a Radeon 7870 (Or a 7950 if you jump on a sale or go second hand!) and you have your PS4 in a box.
Plus, that's in Australia, the PS4 is actually $550 verses that $400 PC which ends up faster.
You also get free online, saving you hundreds of dollars, games are all typically $10-$20 cheaper than their console counterpart which if you're like me who buys allot of games, you could literally save thousands of dollars, suddenly consoles don't look as attractive from a cost perspective, huh?
