PS2 and PS3 went toe to toe with high end PCs on release? Since when? Only if you believe the marketing nonsense coming out from Sony when they released those consoles. At 2000 and 2006 when the PS2 and PS3 were released, a $2000 PC would outperform them easily. It's like It really still is a question of tech and pricing.

To add to that... Whilst the Playstation 2 was rendering games at a pathetic 480P... The PC had 4k capability.
PC was in another league entirely... And will always be ahead of consoles.

Are you comparing the common resolution of PS2 games with the maximal video output of PC games? How many PCs could play PC games in native 4K in the PS2 era?

Either compare common resolution (480p - 576i for PS2 games) against common resolution (1024x768 - 1280x1024) or compare their maximum capability (1080i for PS2 games, f.e. GT4) with maximum capability (1600x1200 at the beginning of the PS2 era, 4K at the end of the PS2 era).

Yes, the PC resolution was always higher (one of the reasons I always prefered PC versions of multiplatform games), but the difference wasn't 0.3 MPixel (640x480) vs. 8 MPixel (3840x2160).
