I just find it funny that the "next generation" has arrived and the console with the most impressive specs seems to be having trouble meeting a mark that PC gamers are already taking for granted, and are starting to look past.

1080p is the standard resolution for a PC game nowadays. According to Steam, about a third of PC gamers use a 1080p monitor, a number greater than the entire sub-720 club combined. 30 FPS is something to be taken for granted, and is simply not considered enough for a lot of games.

If the most powerful console on the market has a well-made, not hugely complex game made for it, and it has trouble meeting that mark, what's the console/PC difference going to be like in five years when PC gamers switch to 1440p as a standard? Especially since this is not even truly "high-end" PC Gaming. A PC roughly on par with the PS4 will cost $1000, sure, but will have free online, far more applications, cheaper games, and a non-theoretical form of backwards compatibility.



Love and tolerate.
