True. It is technically on the lower end of a mid-range card, but if you take the entire package, especially, I'm not sure I'd agree. The PS4 uses a 8 core AMD CPU, which is considerably weaker than the CPUs found in most mid-end PCs (Intel i5). Core for core, it gets destroyed by intel, and in gaming only 6 cores and 5.5 GBs of RAM are usable anyway, which puts it considerable behind most mid-end PCs, which have 8 GBs of DDR3 RAM and 2-3 GBs of DDR5 RAM.

I believe you're overthinking it. Of course, the PS4 can't compete with "the best" of the mid-ranged line, but, all I've been trying to convey - it's not, necessarily, a "flat out lie" to consider the PS4, in 2014, the equivalent to a mid-ranged computer. 

That's not the best of the mid-end line though, that's actually very standard. The Intel i5 is used in almost every build today, and every graphics card comes with 2 GB minimum of dedicated DDR5 memory. RAM is cheap enough that almost everyone has 8 GB (or more), even on low-end builds. 

And yes, the PS4 is equivalent to a mid-range computer, but a mid-range gaming PC? Not even close. Weaker CPU performance on average, weaker GPU performance on average, less RAM available for games, etc.
