Don't get me wrong, the PS4 looks to be a truly amazing console and by the far the technically most forward thinking one to date, but spend a lil more cash and you will get a power house of a PC. Whether it's "better" or not is debatable. Personally the no-boot-up on the PS4 is a massive plus to me, yet Planetside 2 is such a beast of a game I'd hate to leave it behind. 

I think that on release the PS4 will be the best value gaming machine out there, but lets not forget a PC does pretty much everything - it's not limited to films and games. But after say 2 years, a PC will once again be more powerful. What people should be praising though is that hopefully we'll see a massive leap in graphics and gameplay as processing power on the PS4 is so high it should translate to the top-range PC hardware really well. 

Nopes but Killzone 2/3 or Halo are played at 720p. An average card from 2006 can't play the demanding games that came out this year or the last. The other guy's X1900, for example. No way it can run BF3 or Crysis 3. So, a card doesn't last you a gen.

PC has pretty much everything except when it comes to the exclusives that Sony releases and that's its major drawback.

The x1900 GT is stronger than the 6450.  A card lasted me a gen, so you can cover your ears if you want, but my friend this IS how the world works.

 Look, I am not gonna get mad because I used to be like you.  I assumed PC's were always overpriced because all of DELL's and HP's were.  But then I got into computers and found out I was wrong.  

The fact is PC parts have gotten rediculously more affordable in the past 3 years.  They are in the same price/performance range as consoles now and that is reality.  However I do want to say that I am not saying you have to have a PC or you are stupid if you don't.  But people who have chosen PC's, are not stupid or bad with money.  They have simply chosen a different path that is a slightly less user friendly, but far more open and full of posibilities.  

I serously hope a few people at least get that is the point of this post, and accept it.

Also thank you Mazty!

720p is still a pitiful resolution considering the base-minimum on PC is 1650x1050.

Actually the 8800GTX could hammer the crap out of the PS3 and 360. Then obviously a year later the 8800GT was released and that could still hammer the crap out of both the 360 and PS3. 

You are forgetting that BF3 and Crysis 3 on the PS3 and 360 are running at low resolutions on medium at best. A card can last you a gen as they have a power advantage, as in literally a power advantage. You can chuck 300W at a PC GPU without sweating, 500W system load no problem. You can't do that with a console due to heat contraints. 

PC has exclusives though to make yo for it...Ever heard of World of Warcraft? Starcraft? Planetside 2? The power of exclusives now is more a matter of taste than anything else.

The x1900 GT lasted you a whole gen? Here's how it plays 2008 games (GTA4 & NFS:Undercover):
