Since the cost of making your standard PC into a gaming rig is cheaper than the consoles it just makes sense to do it if you actually want to play PC games. At your points specifically, Crytek has stated they think they can run at High but they haven't stated what at what resolution. 1080p is ~2m pixels, 720p is only about 920k pixels. Thats a big difference in performance right there. The resolution I play on with a mixture of high and X-High settings is about 1.75M pixels. It really depends on what resolution they get high settings running on that determines how impressive a job they've done. On the point of outdated hardware, consoles become outdated just as fast (if not faster than PCs). This is definitely mitigated by software designed for the platform but the PC has the option of incremental upgrades where the console does not. On the subject of games, I won't argue which has the coolest games since it is subjective. But I will go back to my point that if you don't want to play the PC games then you shouldn't pay the extra cash. But if you do then you should..thats a simple concept that anyone should be able to grasp.

I know that I "missed the point", but apparently you forgot to read the post I was responding to ;)
