then try BO2 please on an athlon @2 x 2,8 ghz and a 100 euro graphiccard from 2005 (ati radeon 9600 256m memory) with 2 gb ddr2 ram. This it is what you got in 2005 for 400-500 euro. The Xbox 360 was stronger than that ok but you could play games for 10 years in 720 p and Cod BO2 and Ghosts with 60 fps. This is not because the hardware was so ultra strong, you could play it because of optimsation.

No. Because other than a Phenom 2 x6 I have no AMD systems on hand and it's only a dual-core.

But try running Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare on your 2005 console, oh wait, you can't. You never will, but a Quad Core PC on the other hand from 2006 will.
Hows about Battlefield 1? Nope. Not that either.
Halo Wars 2? Nope. You can't.
Mass Effect: Andromeda? Not that either.
Frostbite is extremely well optimized on PC, even 10 year old CPU's handle it just fine, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, Battlefield: Hardline, Dragon Age: Inquisiton, Mirrors Edge have shown to scale extremely well and look almost a generation ahead on a 10+ year old CPU relative to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

I could probably elaborate on that "Optimization" bizzo you proclaim but I would assume you would ignore it anyway. - Let's just say, that PC hardware also get's optimizations over it's life span.

It is nice that you can play everthing with the same processor for 10 years and only change the graphiccard  all 3-4 years. but then you payed 1500 -2000 euro and not 400.

Er. Did you forget the PC has free online? Cheaper Accessories? Cheaper games? All said and told, if you have a large games library you save money on the PC over the long term compared to console, go do the math.
I also don't need multiple PC's to play multiple generations of games, I can still run every single game, even one's released 30 years ago, today.

And a game like Total war Rome 2 or Total War Attlia dont run smooth on an core 2 quad so you have to change it after 5 years.

please ask some people who are producing videogames and they will tell you that you get more out of a console than a pc with same hardware, for the same graphics on console and pc you need a better pc than the console hardware is.

Total War Rome 2 runs fine on my Core 2 Quad.
In-fact, my Core 2 Quad out-benches most stock AMD systems except for the faster 8-core chips.

My 5 year old Core i7 3930K can run Total War Rome 2 multiple times at once without breaking a sweat, it also out-benches the modern 6-core chips (Broadwell-E) though.

Since the Core 2 Quad era, there has been less of a need to upgrade your hardware as often, that occured again with Sandy Bridge.
It's not unusual for people to hang onto a PC for half a decade or more because it can simply handle everything just fine.

So you (don't) answer by asking another question and bringing points that are off topic from what he said.

It's called taking his question, placing it in an example, whilst asking another question in succession.
I have laid it out fine for you to make the connection from point A to point B.

you dont get it...
