Not entirely disagreeing with this, but at the same time at least in this current generation you don't need a high end PC to trump these consoles. Going off of raw GPU power and overall system performance a mid-range PC can best what the PS4/XB1 can put out easily.
Console players need to understand this. The only thing that blurs their vision is the fact that console game makers have the advantage of a fixed platform where there aren't thousands of configurations to think about. Hence readily exploitable visual niceties.
Make no mistake. A multiplatform game will ALWAYS run better on a PC with mid-range specs compared to the PS4/XB1. In that same vein a PS4/XB1 game made solely for that system will never see the light of day on a PC, but by using common sense that mid-range spec'd PC would run that PS4/Xb1 exclusive better than the PS4/Xb1 could.
That doesn't really address what I said though, I never said consoles match high end PC's. All I was saying is that all PC's aren't the same and they shouldn't all be lumped together when discussion PC vs Consoles. Who's to say what classifies ad mid range? one person may think something is mid range that you think is low end.
