What do you predict? based on the available information (rumors, current market trends, corporate direction and financial strength, history, etc.. ) combined with your own conclusions and gut feeling.

Which of the two upcoming consoles you feel is more likely to be the most powerful graphically?

it will be a struggle for the ps4 since sony can't exactly afford the research for an ultra power console. :(

Rumors point towards the Xbox being the more powerful. In fact, if rumors are correct the Xbox will be significantly more powerful. With that said, rumors are just rumors and we will not know till they show us.

You can buy a junk computer for $500 and a junk game console for $500, or you can build an awesome PC that does everything better than either of them for $1000. It's not for everyone, but it's for people who like having one thing that is awesome as opposed to two things that are not so awesome.

Let's all keep in mind that he isn't asking which you're hoping will be more powerful based on fanboy favoritism.

Maybe not an alienware, but a custom i5/i7/7950+/8GB or so level pc, likely will.

Going off of the billions and billions of rumors I would say xbox but the difference will be very very tiny but big enough for the desperate fanboys on here to argue about.

I don't know, we don't know enough about them at this point. Though I think it's a safe bet that whatever console comes out first will be the weaker one, and at this point it seems like that's going to be the next Xbox.

:lol:

Here's a combo from Newegg that will beat up the Xbox 720 and take it's lunch for $625:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1095774

And whaddya know, we still have $375 left to drop on a Radeon 7970, which is one of the most powerful graphics card on the planet and should last you a healthy 4 years:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202008

So there you have it-- a machine that should last about 4 years or more with no upgrades at all, for just about $1000. The Xbox 720 will be this things low-IQ little cousin who's a bit small for his age, and will grow up to make a living collecting welfare and disability checks, while the PC will go on to do a great many things that the 720 can barely dream of.

720 > PS4 graphically

Xbox will remain the "everyman" box for the masses, Playstation will remain it's competator.

PC will remain a niche for hardcore elite (and bored housewives for WoW/Facebook games.)

The way I see it the only one that needs the more powerful console is MS since they don't have many first party games, so multiplatform titles having an edge on their system will attract gamers by having the more powerful system. Sony on the other hand doesn't need to have the most powerful system to attract its loyal fanbase, it just needs the games people would expect from a Sony console. Nintendo did pretty well with the Wii (being as weak as it was) without a whole lot of successful 3rd party support, I think Sony could do just as well if they did it right. Plus, given Sony's financial situation it will probably be better for them to have something that's profitable from the start. I really don't see performance as a huge factor for Sony or MS on their coming systems, with 3rd party games I feel they'll be designed to accommodate the weakest system, which will be the Wii U. Where I feel the real competition will come is from Valve if they release their Steam Box before the next Xbox and PlayStation, graphically it'll probably be superior to consoles even as a closed system. Also, despite hardware what I think will really set the Steam Box apart from the competition is how they handle digital rights, which is something neither Nintendo or MS or Sony have any intention of improving on. There is of course obstacles even Valve would face, for instance name recognition in the casual console market, confidence in more online focused retail, and whether this can successfully be sold in stores if gaming retailers will be cut out of the loop regarding software (remember retailer reaction to the PSP Go).

AMD CPU? I'd have gone Intel CPU, AMD GPU, like in your sig. I know man you're illustrating a point ...

And speaking of that point, I suspect you're right. I am unsure of exactly why, but it seems to me that chances are slim-to-none for an 8th gen console to offer better graphics per dollar than a PC.

You have my sympathies. I once bought a Macbook Pro for the same price. I learned really quick why PC enthusiasts make fun of them.
