This is just the hard truth of things that console fans will have to face up to..
The X1 and PS4 are powerful but no where near as powerful as the 360 and PS3 was at launch.
You just need to compare hardware at the same time frame to see this, when the x360 and PS3 launched Only the highest of high end PC hardware could match them.
Its a completely different story this gen as we already have midware gaming PC's that can match and outperform the PS4 and X1, and now the is even rumors that devs are gimping PC releases just to keep them on par with the PS4 and X1 versions..


In order for PS4 and Xbone to be like PS360 on launch, they'd need to have 1000$ + GPUs inside them and thats just the GPU cost without the RAM, CPU and the other stuff, which would make the consoles be insanely expensive,

 

In the end, it doesnt matter, because the graphics standard in the industry is set by the consoles, so the power range under which the consoles operate is the power range developers will create their games in. No one is gonna be developing games on GTX 770 or Titan Z cards.

Besides, Sony designed the PS4 with the developer feedback, giving them they what they want, so it really shouldnt be the problem,unless a certain amoun of money hatting or incompetence is involved such as in Ac Unity's case

Clearly my post must of struck a nerve with you but ill leave you with this,you see devs dont need to make games for Titan Z GPU's etc and in return that means users dont need to buy Titan z GPU's to play the latest multi platform games on PC (Unlike lastgen where if you wanted to play the latest games your choice was X360, PS3 or a high end expensive PC) and thats all thanks to the X1 and PS4 launching with mid spec PC hardware, This isnt me running the PS4 or X1 down this is just a simple matter of truth, So where at the start of last gen it would of been very expensive to choose PC as an option if you wanted to play multi plat PS3 and x360 games thats not the case this gen as already PC's can be got with better performance then the PS4 and X1 with not much of a cost difference, add in free online gaming plus steam sales and it just makes PC a perfect choice for a lot of people who want a nextgen system last gen they wasnt giving that option and this can be seen, i already know a lot of people who got a gaming PC this gen instead of a PS4 or a X1 where as lastgen they never would of and im sure im not the only one, with the cost constintly coming down so much and with how big steam has gotting i can see PC gaming taking off more then ever from this year on.


I didnt stuck a nerve at me at all, where did I display the signs of annoyance in my post? Maybe its your nerve that its stuck when you are briging up such a defensive statement. Given that your console maker of choice is Nintendo who not only makes underpowered consoles, but rather histerically  underpowered consoles, it wouldnt surprise me that you bring up PCs in every thread related to Xbone/PS4 to compensate for something. This is even more apperant since the majority of your post is about how PCs are better than next gen consoles and not about the original points you or I have made. So much for that.

People dont buy Titan GPUs, not because they dont need them, but because they cant afford them, which is painfully obvious, because most people in the industry dont have 1000$+ to spend on a graphic card alone. And you didnt need a high end PC to play majority of multiplats, most certanly not with the same graphically fidelity which is on PS360. However, this does bring up another major advantige consoles have over PC and that is future-proofing (for the lack of a better word) You buy a console and you'll guranteed to be able to play all multiplat games for the entire generation whereas for PC, you'd have to keep spending hunderds of dollars on upgrading your GPU, CPU and RAM.

Also, you didnt actually adress any of my points in the post, most of it is just your typicall ''PC is superior'' rambling you are known for here. Thats fine and all, but it doesnt disprove my statments on the next gen consoles being build on developer feedback and the graphics standard being set by the consoles rather than the most powerfull GPUs at the market.
