Debunking the Myth that Next Gen Consoles are too weak

Stats don't matter, show me the results. You can almost see a larger jump from early last gen to late last gen due to a move to deferred rendering/lighting which greatly increased the realism in the lighting of scenes. I have seen nothing from any of the three consoles graphics wise that comes close to ANY other generation leap.

The graphical improvements are marginal at this point.

This is more about the comparison of consoles with the PC. People really have a very short term memory. When you look at the first generation ports from PC to the consoles, you'll see significantly worse results on the console. Today, they are almost identical.

I remember the ports from PC to PS2, most of which were very subpar. Even the Xbox versions were significantly below the PC versions. The disparity today is almost non-existent.

Compare the first generation PS1, PS2, PS3 ports from PC with the PS4 ports. All PC ports before had to be downsized, and scaled back, whereas PS4 looks on par pretty much always.
