I'm pretty sure that back in 2005 a graphics card with the same number of gflops as the 360's GPU cost as much as the 360 itself, so just one component of a gaming PC costed as much as the 360 back in 2005. PS4 and Xbox One are both equivalent to mid range PC's, you can buy GPU's with equivalent gflops for $100-$150 now. So I'd say that this genertion is comparatively weaker than last gen. That's why I think this gen will be shorter than last gen, 5 years tops. |
On paper maybe. I bought a $200 gpu around that time and Oblivion on my pc ran laps around the 360 version. I went in the ini files to increase the detail beyond the max settings the game allowed and it ran fine. That GPU didn't keep up during the rest of the gen when games got better optimized yet another $200 gpu a few years later kept it comfortably ahead at upto 1080p.
