Sony PlayStation 4 Revealed!

[Matt Murdock]

Guys, do remember Consoles are optimized for games, and made for that one reason only, gaming.

So any new gen console can very easily beat any pc of the same gen with twice the price tag.

[ElMartu]

Twice the price tag? Perhaps, if they start selling at a loss, say, something like 400 dollars. Games would run about the same than a $800 PC I suppose. Very easily beat them? Doubtful, especially if we bump the price up to 500 USD and have it compete against a PC with an Ivy Bridge core i5 and any Radeon 7970 GPU (roughly 950-1000 dollars!)

I see no reason in buying a new version of Playstation since we are going to have a  new one revealed the next year.

Because definitely PS4 was announced 1 year after PS3s release.

Oh wait, it was released in 2006, and its 2013 now.

Because all mainstream videocards above 200 USD are obviously not meant for gaming...

Fact is that all of the mid/high-end GeForce cards are designed to do exactly that. Don't forget 8GB VRAM barely means anything, and that it's probably gonna be the standard in PC videocards in less than two years, where the PS5 will take 7 years to be released, if they'll take just as long as they did when going from PS3 to PS4.

So any new gen console can very easily beat any pc of the same gen with twice the price tag.

Never has been like that, never will be like that.

Ahem

[Kirgiz]

Ahem

Don't understand what you mean, but that game was shit.

[EenBeeFour]

Don't understand what you mean, but that game was shit.

Exactly, the game was completely unoptimized for the console versions and had constant frame rate drops that lasted for hours on end.

[ClazzyJogel]

This is the PS4 specs:

CPU: x86-64 AMD "Jaguar" 8 cores
Unified 8GB DDR5 RAM

Its basically because, most games are better optimized for consoles.

MOST and you never worry about FPS and shit on consoles. lol

[RizzE.]

Consoles are "cheaper" then pc's and you never have to worry about games not running on it. But what about 2 years from now what beast computers will exist then? A gaming computer will always be superior to any consoles

Most aren't

[Kirgiz]

Most aren't

I doubt they will actually put as much power as possible and make it relatively cheap.

It will always be somewhere middle-ish for consoles, while PCs will always have the full range technology will and can provide.

[Denis_Pro]

The title confuses.
PS4 is coming someday before christmas in America, and later for Europe.

Yeah
