People who are getting next-gen consoles for "graphics" are retarded.
Please tell me how you love "revolutionized" 60 frames per second
@ 1080p when it's been done on PC's for the last decade or so.
Please tell me how you are completely oblivious to the fact that most 360 & PS3 games are running @ 720p max with less than 30 FPS.
Please tell me how you didn't know that old-gen console ports like ACIV, Titanfall, watch dogs etc. aren't optimized for those "next-gen" consoles and probably won't be @ 1080p nor 60 FPS.
Please tell me how 1080p and 60 frames per second is still relevant with the rise of 4k coming in the next 5-7 years.
Listen here, you aren't getting a new console for graphics, you are getting it for games and because of your friends.
If you wanted graphics, take those 500$'s and go with the master race.
This isn't a "PC is am being teh bestest", but don't talk about crap you don't know without doing any research.

Please tell me how games like ACIV, Titanfall, Watchdogs, etc. aren't optimized in their PC ports and will take a lot of power to run reliably. Please tell me how $500 could get you a gaming PC capable of lasting a decade, outputting 4k, or running most new games better than a console, where it's optimized to run on that hardware. Both the X1 and PS4 have built in support for 4k output. I'm getting a next gen console because I don't want to spend a ton of money for a powerful gaming rig, and I don't want to have to spend even more money to swap out all those parts over the next ten years. I'm getting a next gen console so I don't have to worry about whether or not my GPU will run a game reliably. I'm not a computer illiterate person, I'm a hardware technician. I game on console because it's far cheaper, it's easier, and it lasts longer. The next gen consoles are a large jump up from the current 7-8 year old hardware in the PS3 and 360. I look at games like The Last of US, and I'm amazed that something like that can run on 7 year old hardware with just half a gig of RAM. The launch titles for these new systems look even better than that, and I can't wait to see what developers are able to push out after 9 years of developing on the X1 or PS4. I also know for a fact that your gaming rig won't be able to run anything very well in another 9 years, unless you put $100s more into it for upgrades.

[quote]How would they do more? If the hardware is equivalent then they will have the same limitations. Also you can overclock PC components for better performance.[/quote]It would do more because the game is being specifically designed to get the best possible performance from a very specific part. PC devs can't do that, because there are so many parts available for PC. They have to optimize it to run on as many different hardware configurations as possible, rather than to run very well on a single hardware set. [quote]Any PC with equivalent specs would run on par with consoles[/quote] No, they wouldn't, unless they are running the exact same specs and running the console's OS. If you have a 7 year old PC lying around (that cost $400-500 when it was new) that hasn't been upgraded, go ahead and try running Metro Last Light or BF3 on low to medium settings.

The specific parts the devs optimise for are called the 'Recommended System Requirements'. Assuming the OS is compatible, what effect could it possibly have on the game?
