Gets better and better every day. Aiming for 1080p gaming in an era of 2560 x 1600 and 5760 x 1200 PC standards, soon looking to 4k tvs.
No backwards compatibility. High price.
Maybe more people will wake up, stop getting pissed on by these consoles and get a proper PC. ffs.
Are you on crack? Most PC gamers still play on 1080p. MOST people (yes including most PC gamers) don't have the $700 lying around to get a dual GTX 680 solution.
But they have $500 for a console, plus every single new game that comes out and is drastically over-priced compared to PC?
Between steam and torrents, the cost of a PC, regardless of how much you put into it, pays for itself. $500 PC can do 1080p gaming no problem at all. $750 - $1000 pc can do well above that no problem.
When all is said and done, 1080p is an extremely dated resolution. With the emergence of $300 2560 x 1440 panels, and upcoming 4k TVs that will be affordable by early 2014 at the latest, these new consoles don't make any sense at all. Just like the current console generation launched only capable of 720p gaming when 1080p was practically the norm for PC games, they're doing the same thing right now with the next gen. Then everyone is going to sit around for 5 or 6 years, again, on dated resolutions and sub par hardware. And for what? So you can spend $10, $20, $30, $40 more per game?
Anyone with common sense who has to pick between console and PC, is going to pick PC. Everyone else is going to get ripped off.
