This whole generation is under powered, 1080p 60fps should've been the minimal for these machines and they also should've been capable of 4K resolution. I wasn't too happy when I saw the performance of these consoles at first but I've learned to accept it to stay a console gamer. |
This argument just isn't true. Although this generation started out with lower end hardware, right now the gap between PS4 and even Xbox One compared to current PC hardware is actually smaller than it was between PS360 and PC in say 2008.
In 2008 you could buy a HD48xx series card for between $200 and $300 which were around 5 times faster than PS360. You could even buy and HD4870x2 for $399 which was able to achieve 2000 gflops. That's PS4 level power, in 2008!
So right now what do we have? Even extremely high end cards off over $600 and that use more power than a complete PS4 and Xbox One console combined are only around 4 times faster than current gen consoles. So even with much more expensive cards available the gap has actually schrunk, with current gen consoles being cheaper and actually profitable.

Are you comparing card prices to console cards or consoles themselves because it takes more than a card to make a machine. If you are making this arguement it has to be at the very most a 100 euro card in 2008, try finding the best card you can find for the eq.uivilant price of the ps4's card in 2013 and tell me if you find anything as close to it, because you wont.

I was comparing the difference in console power and PC power between the two generations. The prices are only to show that not just is the difference in power between console and high end pc smaller this gen, when looking at cards prices high end cards have become more expensive as well. And that while the PS4/XBone are cheaper to produce than X360/PS3 where.
