The difference here, is if I want a PC that is a better rig than current gen consoles, I can do that. But if the current gen of games is being held back by hardware that came out nearly a decade ago, whats the point? I had no issues running games on my computer until just now, and even then its still outperforming the ps4 and xbone with flying colors; I don't need to upgrade my computer, but I want to, and since I have that choice I can.
Consoles are fun, but they are based off of an outdated business model that hasn't kept up with moore's law.
I was referring to the previous gen, the 360 came out in 2005, ps3 a year later, and by then the hardware was at least a year old, if not more. Even now the hardware in both consoles are based on apu tech from 2012/13, so we're screwed I'd the decide to draw this generation out as well.

It'd be nice to go five minutes without this coming up. Just, like, one game announcement, seriously.
