But that even stronger PC would leave PS4 even further behind. High end PCs exist, they don't get to be discounted because they cost more or because there's always a stronger rig.

Fact of the matter is that a substantial segment of the "PC Master Race" is used to gaming on specs above and beyond Uncharted 4's, so it's completely understandable if they are not as wowed by it as console gamers.

When it comes to sheer graphical power, PS4 vs PC simply isn't a fight PS4 can or ever will win.

Yet we don't debate what the hardware "could" do. Also it is a telltale sign that you ommited what else i said when you quoted me.

It's not just that PC "could" do better graphics than PS4, it technically does do better graphics than PS4.

Running Star Citizen or Star Wars Battlefront with maxed settings at 1440p/60fps or 4K is more graphically demanding than Uncharted 4.

It's not all about the hardware. The software is important too ...

Some PC gamers don't quite get that. Looking purely at specs, resolution and framerates alone is a shortsighted way to measure "graphics" and that especially applies to the mentioned latter aspect ... 

Any current PC game can't ever hope to match a ray traced one even if it's from a console because it's rendering technology far surpasses any of the given current PC games! 

I mean no ill intent but it's rather ignorant to claim that consoles can't ever win in terms of graphical prowess ... 

I'll say it once to everyone else in this thread and only once, "SOFTWARE IS IMPORTANT TOO WHEN IT COMES TO GRAPHICS"!

Of course software matters. But ultimately software is bound by the hardware it is running on. You can have beautiful games on PS4. You can have beautiful games on Wii U. Developers with great technical and artistic talent can work wonders with limited silicon. Games like Uncharted 4 and Mario Kart 8 are a testiment to this; working within your limits to create beauty with the tools available to you. Hell, Kirby's Epic Yarn is still one of the best looking games I've ever seen, and that's on the freaking Wii.

On the flipside though, with stronger hardware you can achieve technically superior results. There isn't anything on PS4 that could not be done on a high end PC, but you can do plenty on a high end PC that PS4 could not do.
