PS4 is superior to PC

No it's not. It's equivalent to a low-mid end PC that costs about $450. The version they are showing is an updated version which will release on PC as well, and will be playeable at 4k or downsampling through mods. So...

 

The PS4 is still equivalent to a high end PC, unless you consider the 7870, GTX 580, and 660 Ti a low end card lol.

Mid-end cards like the r9 280x/r9 290 and GTX 960 outperform the PS4's underclocked, stream-lined, picairn. And that is without mentioning its CPU bottleneck.

It is obvious that the PS4's GPU is comparable to the lower half of mid-end cards (r9 270x/ GTX 760/etc.) Its card is comparable to the $150 GPU's not the $200-250 GPU's. High-end GPU's ($300+) greatly outperform the PS4's GPU.

Also note I'm comparing to an HD 7870 with a bencmark 2.56 Tflops, and the PS4 is rated about 1.8 Tflops. So it is even less fair for the PS4 than the GpuBoss specs show. 

If the PS4 were as capable as PC's with these cards every game would be playeable at medium/high settings 1080p 30fps locked, especially with closed-platform optimization, but there are plenty of games which aren't.
