If i am not wrong the GFX cards ,CPU ,RAM etc every thing (even 3 year old) outperform the so called next gen consoles in each and every department. So what’s so much next gen about it. Why the unreal engine5 demo is being taken as something revolutionary ..can’t it be run on PCs ? Apart from making these powerful machine available to more audiences (as compare to PC with those specs ) at a reasonable price (which yet needed to be seen) i dont see any thing so much next gen about it. What i am missing.
In: Technology
A high end PC will always be years ahead of whatever new consoles offer, but said high end PC will be many times more expensive.
To get the same hardware you have in consoles usually its at least 30-40% more expensive if you want to replicate it in a PC (when the consoles release).
That’s the biggest advantage and disadvantage of consoles, they offer really good hardware (usually) for a really good price (again, usually), but if you want the absolute high end when it comes to technological advancements you pretty much have to buy a PC.
The disadvantage of consoles is of course that they are pretty much frozen in time, an Xbox one bought in 2013 is still the same as it was back then, it can’t be upgraded in any meaningful way.
