I was simply stating that the way the PS4 was marketed and what the users have come to expect (always 1080p) it's not going to happen. I'm not saying that this was a bad choice, but people have to make peace with reality. You are right PCs evolve fast, but we are in the first year and the gap is already this big. Last generation didn't paly this way. Consoles held up to PCs for a couple of years.

You'd have a point if the PS4 wasn't capable of running it in 1080p. From what Ubi has said, however, doesn't sound like that's the case - rather, the gimping was intentional. No, every game on PS4 won't run in 1080p, but when the vast majority of its library does, the ones that don't stick out like sore thumbs, and this instance is stacked with EVEN MORE scrutiny because of the mentioned variables.

As for last gen holding up to PCs for a couple of years - not quite. Those consoles were outdated by the time we reached 2007 (just a year after the PS3's release - and in some cases, just a few months). Even with that, the biggest issue was price. Unless you condone high-priced home consoles, it's good for everyone that they didn't try to create super-charged devices again.

Bottom line, consoles have never held up to PC for very long and I don't get why anyone would expect that to change.

They were outdated a week after the PS3 launched, when the DX10 compliant 8000 series Nvidia cards launched.
