Just imagine a 2070 even in a console with a half decent cpu it will perform amazingly. I've a feeling next gen consoles will be special the price of entry will have many people going from pc to console. 

4k/60fps ultra @ £499 is better then 4k/60fps ultra @ £999

Except we had heard this exact same phrase before and at the start of this gen and that didn't really happen.

Consoles aren't going to suddenly take a massive chunk, if any sizeable chunk away, from a platform that's constantly adapting and coming out with multiple pieces of HW.

You're probably right. Still, you have to admit that these next gen consoles do look a lot more impressive compared to the ps4/Xone specs when they launched. When the Ps4 and Xone launched most pc gamers already had a superior gaming rig with a much better cpu. And even if they were still using a 560GTX they could pick up a 660GTX for like $150. With these next gen consoles it seems like you're going to have to spend a lot more if you want a similar or better spec pc.
