CD Projekt Red: PC is most powerful platform "but that might change"

The only time console was more powerful than pc was n64 at launch because pc's didnt have graphics cards some months later they release and they can run star wars shadows of the empire and turok the dinosaur hunter  superior to n64 version.

When the next gen of consoles release we will have hit the margin of diminishing returns

I have no idea what's he aiming at, PC will always have a power advantage over consoles, and the gap always becomes wider as the console gen goes on, but fine, won't fault him for his statement, it's very vague, and he hasn't even explained himself properly...

When hardware becomes software. Sure

 

Anyways they most likely mean average user which can easily be true at the beginning of a console launch

True that. Xbox 360 was much more powerful in relation to PC at the time of it's release. Through the first year it saw a lot cutting-edge titles that matched the best PC had to offer(Fight Night, Oblivion, Gears). 

I'm no old fart, but I've been around long enough to know the envelope will continue to be pushed. I remember playing Max Payne 2 and thinking that gfx couldn't get much better.

Concerning the idea that consoles are a some sort of pot of gold, this is the worst time to be selling out to consoles and big publishers. Console hardware will be minimum specs in 2yrs., and PC gaming will become even more dominant, while console hardware refreshes will be over, and Onlive-style streaming will become the end game.

It will be a pathetic end to console gaming. 

would somebody xplane to me what is a average gaming pc machine is?

"That might change"

Wat? Are you trying to indicate that consoles are going to overtake the PC?

Oh my sides.

lol consoles held back pc so much call of duty isnt even 64 players anymore.

"Adam Badowski suggests the PCs dominance might change in the future as console hardware catches up."

Are they suggesting that PC multiplats won't see the jump that has been expected? Or is this some hidden sellout statement? I don't speak game industry.

And more and more PC Gamedevelopers are heading to consoles, its ''innevitable'' The amount of money they can make on the console markt beat PC anyday, and you cant argue about that.. (So dont come up with your stupid PC high end specs to start a troll war)

In the End, the nextgen consoles get probably most of the PC titles and PC get some console titles like Resident Evil 6 and DmC, but probably most of these games are consoles only.

But for the sake for money, CD Project and more independent Developers need to stay loyal to their PC fanbase to give them a good game to enjoy most probably in the ''graphics'' area.

This wont sit well with the master race.

Its not stupid, its brilliant, now we'll see more games and more developers on the console market.. and more money they can make on their IP's. And stop pretend you know anything about the Relationships between Developers and publishers. Or in other words, i sense a little depressive reaction in your comment.

pc developers heading to consoles is stupid because they gotta pay sony and microsoft licsensing fee's unlike pc.

Everyone obsessed with dumbass eye candy and requiring video cards is the reason pc gaming market is smaller now than the 90s.

He menas that the PC won't have as huge a gap in visual dominance that it has now, BUT it should also be noted that once the consoles come out and show similar experiences it won't be long before the PCs overtake again due to their nature. It happened last gen/current gen too. Games didn't look worlds apart (except for Crysis but that was special).

I don't imagine there will be colossal differences between say a PS4 version of TW3 and the PC version. PC version might be higher res and run at higher frames but PS4 will largely be the same. not as big as the huge difference between the 360 version of TW2 and the PC version. But then PC will excel again because it will get better hardware.
