CONSOLEs vs PC

RIght, here is the issue, but thanks for the clarity;

The specs are compared, and I have said this before. The xbone is 1.3 Tflops, the PS4 is ~1.8, and a high end single chip gpu for a PC is 5.5+....So that right there shows how much better the PC is.

Pull up all gpu specs. You can compare everything to the known console specs. Cross reference with price and you can see why PC gamers are unimpressed with consoles.

I have said this before in my first post that PC gpus are miles head of consoles and that very cheap gpus match console specs now. This will only become worse in time.

And this is exactly why I keep saying you are having a different argument or missing the point entirely. To keep things simple I will only use your response here to try and explain what I mean and what the mix up seems to have been.

You have nicely clearly pointed out the specs of the PS$/XB1. Thank you.

But you went on to say "that right tehre shows how much better the PC is"

That right there is where you are mixing things up, cause you seem to thik this thread has been about how much better a PC is to consoles whereas its not even close to what this thread is about.

Again using your data, then adding some of my own to drive home my point.

• XB1 GPU: 1.3Tf................A
• PS4 GPU: 1.8Tf................B
• R7 265 GPU: 1.8Tf...........C
• R9 290x GPU: 5.6Tf.........D

Now what I am saying, and what this thread has been about. Is that If a comparison between a game running on consoles (A&B) is being made to a the same game running on PC (C&D) that its only fair that a console system (eg. B) is being compared to the PC system (C) and not to the PC system (D). 

This is because comparing the console with spec (B) to the PC with spec (C) gives an accurate analysis of how similar hardware and most likely very closely priced hardware performs across the two platforms. And how little sense it makes taking the game running on PC hardware (D) (which in itself is hardware in order of magnitudes higher and thus reflected in its price) and comparing that to the game running on console (C).

Mind you, this theory applies accorss the board. Its the very same way it makes little sense comparing PC GPU (C) to Pc GPU (D). No body does that in the PC world. Its just a no brainer that the more expensive (advanced) PC hardwrae will outperform the cheaper/weaker/entry level hardware. SO i do not understand why those same rules do not apply to console vs PC graphic comparisons. And that was the point of this thread.

Its not about which platform is cheaper, more expensive, gamers prefer or don't prefer or all that other stuff. Its about how the performance of a game on different hardware is compared.
