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.

There's a difference between recommended system requirements and the heavy optimization that console games go through. The optimization that console games go through get every inch of power out of the hardware. Recommended specs are not optimized nearly that much. If a console has a new gpu, cpu, RAM, or any other part (except maybe for the hard drive), the game will probably not run at all. It's designed specifically to use the exact hardware. I don't know of a better way to describe it, but it is definitely different from recommended specs. When devs spend 8 years developing for the same exact hardware, they learn every little trick to get the most possible power out of it. Not all games are ported to other OS's, so you would need the console's OS to run a lot of the games for the sake of the example.

Edited by MattyFez: 10/9/2013 5:47:59 PMOkay, I see what you mean with the optimisation for console components as the next-gen consoles will use AMD parts. But surely you could get a similarly powerful GPU from the AMD range and it would run on par? If on a different OS, you could run an emulator for the game you want. But most games have support for older OS's. E.g BF4 will be able to run on Win Vista.
