Broken early release consoles already popping up all over the place. IGN's test mule crashed on the first day. Taco Bell contestant winners having problems, including a system that didn't even work from the box. And it begins....

Consoles will never blow PC away, it's just not possible. PC is always evolving, it's getting the newest most powerful setups as soon as they come out. Consoles are stuck to whatever is put in them at launch. You have already admitted you have no interest in PC, so you have really no knowledge of what they are capable of... I play both console and PC currently. PC has and will always dominate console gaming in the terms of technology. It's not even close to a fair competition. Consoles are extremely limited and have no upgrade capability.

Let's look at the next gen consoles and compare them to what they are in the computing world. The CPUs are based on tablet/laptop processors and the GPUs are similar to older Radeon GPUs in both of them. Something like a 7790 in the PS4 and 7870 in the Xbox One. If you think these can keep up with dual SLi 780 Tis in a i7 machine that is capable of running in 4k while the next gens are struggling to even do full 1080p, you need help.
My comment had nothing to do with the graphics/capability of a PC. BF4 for PC IS Buggy as fuck, there are major netcode issues and it runs like shit right now...Well it did it got better with a recent PC patch that dropped today.

But just because you have an amazing setup doesnt mean the game will work properly...and by that I meant the devs fucking botched BF4 so far...because I feel like there baby is PS4/Xbox One launches because its the bigger moneymaker.

And yes, money is what fuels the world. Just because I dont game on a PC doesnt mean i'm not somewhat knowledgeable about the hardware. It doesnt take a genius to figure out how dated the 360 and PS3 are compared to a modern day PC and the new consoles are now relegated to what a low end PC rig was from a few years back...But it gives the "Sheep" The ability to feel a little bit of what its like to have a 64 player match and have better internals then the current gen consoles.

But really I could give a fuck. I'll continue to play my 360 and have no recourse on what anyone else does with there free time.

I still don't see what making more money has to do with this conversation. Selling more games doesn't make it any better. I freely admit PC gaming is a minority and makes less money. It still doesn't change the fact that gaming on a good PC is better in every way. It just is... If you can't afford a quality PC or don't want to spend the money on one just for gaming, that's fine, you are better off getting a console. It's cheaper and you will have a better experience than if you try to play on a machine that has shit framerate. I know that, I spent many years dealing with shit framerate and getting tired of it and going back to console games I didn't like as much because I couldn't afford a decent rig that could play the games I wanted to play correctly.

I agree 100%. I've tried FPS games on consoles and really don't like it. I find the mouse/keyboard combo so much better to use than either a PS3 or Xbox controller. I haven't had a gaming PC in probably 8 years and except for a few brief attempts at console FPS games I haven't played them since.

Just bought it on the Steam sale. Sick game, plays a bit like the Arkham series fighting system. Looks much better on my built system than in this trailer though...
