Consoles are so behind PC, even more so than handhelds to home consoles

It's so ridiculous that home console graphic is so behind PC. Home consoles are like three or four generation behind PC. We just get a release date for Beyong Good and Evil HD for the home console. People are really excited about it, but I already played it on HD with my PC six years ago. On the other hand, handheld consoles are only one generation behind home consoles, yet at the same time, a generation of handheld lasts much longer than home consoles on the average. Are home consoles only capable of playing catch up in terms of specs or will an OnLive approach be a solution to Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft?

3-4 Gen?

You really think it looks like NES vs Xbox 360?

I think that its because you cant upgrade consoles and they wanted to make it cheap so just threw in pretty crap stuff for what was the time, not even comparing to now.

i hope TC is joking, i really dont see how 360/ps3 games look 4 gen behind pc. the difference isnt even quarter of a gen.

3 to 4 gens behind PC? I certainly hope that's hyperbole on your part...

This topic seems to be quite pointless. I'm sure most logical gamers recoginize the difference potential between them. I personally think, for five year old tech that consoles aren't doing too shabby. Sure there's plenty of room for improvement, but eh... it'll get there next-gen. I think the only depressing part is current PC tech is rarely taken advantage of visually and won't be very much until consoles push forward.

3-4 generations? That's too much. I say about .5 of a generation ahead. And most people don't get consoles for top-of-the-line graphics.tagyhag

...but really hermits need to stop coming here everyday saying just how much great it is to justify the money they bury on a gaming PC.Kane04

Really? They "bury" money into a gaming rig? You do realize there are such things as budget gaming rigs... Right?

I'd say consoles are a generation behind at most but that is still quite a leap, especially when 2011 comes around with The Witcher 2.
