    Assembling a similar PC with the PS4 specs while an interesting exercise doesn't really makes for an argument of which is better than the other.

    I used to build my own PCs back in the day and now I just play on consoles. If you build a PC with the same specs as the PS4 I'm pretty sure it will cost more and it won't last you the same years as the console (ability of playing current games wise).

    A console developer gets to deal with the same hardware for about 7 years and they learn how to take advantage of most of it by the end of its cycle. Take a launch PS2 for example like Ridge Racer V and compare it with the last God of War for PS2. Same thing on the 360, just compare Halo 3 with Halo 4. A 7 year old PC will let you play on the lowest quality the newer games.

    Each have their own advantages/disadvantages, me I prefer to spend a few hundreds bucks on a console and not having to deal with Windows, fucking display drivers, malware and all that shit.

    • I was asking out of technical interest - i haven't bought a new console since the GameCube came out.detritus
    • oh, actually, since the DS 2nd gen came out. I always wait a year or two after release, being a PC-nerd.detritus
