there are some things that that the GPU in the consoles cannot be tasked with for picking up the slack on the console CPU.
A lot of games will be built around knowing very well the cpu is week so game devs wont focus on cpu driven tasks.   Its true the GCN tech of AMD will help out the compute performace MASSIVELY. So one cannot judge a book by its cover. But there are things the GCN cannot help out in, And thats stuff like  64 players in battlefield 4 multiplayer.........       Huge games like planet side will have to be toned down a lot...

A pc with an i5 3570k WITH AN AMD GPU > THAN CONSOLE will also see the benefits of GCN tech (Cough cough TRESSFX). This isnt something that only consolites will benefit from.. Â Â Â Â Â So once you add up the fact that the PC CPU is overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr kill and we hermits have way more compute performace on GPU's ....
Its not even gonna be close. PC wins mile miless. Optimization you say? even if consoles get  3x in CPU optimization they still dont come close to the power  of the i5 3570k.     Every ps4 game "that looks so called good". Will be at 30 frames per second while im enjoying 60+
Cows and Lems holding pc gaming back right out the gate.  F.u.cking lowest common denominator sucks........ Thank goodness we hermits can MOD our games to look better.

I suppose you also think the CoD audience is holding back the FPS genre, no? ;)
Also, mind explaining how low-end PCs are not holding back PC gaming?
According to Steam stats, the average PC has a dual core CPU and an integrated graphics chip.
This is worse than current-gen consoles.
No matter how you want to turn it, the majority of PC owners does not have "cutting-edge" rigs.
You are in the minority, in fact.
Besides, if console gamers buy more games than you do, why exactly should devs cater to you specifically?
If you don't like cross-platform games then stick to PC exclusives.
Not every PC with steam installed is for gaming. Some use it for chat, e.g. girlfriends
PCs are used for multiple purposes, including gaming.
While it would be, of course, stupid to try and run modern graphically intensive games on such low-end systems, they still are sufficient for graphically un-demanding indie and older PC games.
