A few PC owners have been saying that current gen consoles such as ps4 and xbone are already outdated or will be more out dated by the end of this gen just by judging it on the specs, consoles specs should not be compared with pc specs, how many pc rigs can run games like the last of us with 512mb of RAM?  infact what would a current game look like running on 512mb of ram on a pc??

Powerful PCs always had and always will crush consoles concerning graphics. The problem here is that they are much more expensive.

and you have to pay over an beyond because you have to run stupidly heavy OS, the expensive specs you pay for will crash in price in the next 3 years when it is outdated again, and a ps4 will still be playing the same games (slightly less pretty) but ps4 is definitely the better solid investment

Fair answer.

I agree with the fact that if you want to play games with the highest graphical settings for several years, you have to pay much more than for a console.

However, you can use a PC for much more than gaming. If you need a PC for work, you can add the PS4 price to get a capable gaming PC that will allow you to play multiplat games as good as the PS4 (and probably better in the first years).

The fair thing to say is that for 399$, you won't find a PC better than the PS4 for games, and that it will certainly get outdated quickly in the console lifespan.
