re: Console vs PC

Interesting read:

The Console market is in crisis

As one veteran games developer, who has worked in the industry for more than a decade and who pointed me in the direction of the leaked NPD data, put it: “The PS4/XB1 is the first generation to have technology that is worse than what is already out there. There are 2+ year old GPUs that outperform these boxes, and even budget GPUs releasing now in the $150 range outclass these machines. If you buy the highest end GPU on the market now, you have almost 3x the performance of these machines, and we are at the start of the generation. This is unprecedented.

“This means whilst the casuals are moving to mobile/web, the high end enthusiasts are moving to PC where games are better looking. The traditional consoles are caught in a pincer movement.”

 

So the brand new just released consoles are actually behind the PC for performance? Wow! Don't they normally come out way ahead and the PC then closes the gap to the point of being fast just in time for the next console upgrade? I love the part about high end enthusiasts moving to the PC where games are better looking.

yeah, i was thinking about this when they were first released. it is pretty much why i dont think i will even bother buying one, or maybe just when they are super cheap.

Since I moved my 360 controller to my PC I haven't really touched the Xbox.  I get the best of both worlds. The high performance of the PC and the sitting back and relaxing aspect of the controller input for certain games where it makes sense.

I'm not seeing much in the latest consoles that makes me want to run out and buy one.
