I do not own a console, do not plan on purchasing one any time soon and can't be called by any means a console fanboy but I am shocked by your conclusion. How can you conclude it'll better to stick to the PC only because the horsepower factor will be in its favor ? What about the quality of the future games and their gameplay ? How in hell the fact the next gen consoles will have a 3x weaker GPU can impact the quality of the forthcoming games ? Do you mean there's no salvation for a game with fewer pixels ? I call such conclusion simplistic and Mojang would as well !How the mighty have fallen. I might just stick to pc's next gen.
Yeah, I'm with Gloo. It's somewhat superficial to think that console games should be shunned if they do not match the power of the PC. Let me guess, Damian: You love TEH GRAFIKS?
Also, "how the mighty have fallen"? You make it seem as if consoles used to be more powerful than PCs. When has this ever happened?
I'm a PC gamer all the way. But consoles are great and I afford them the respect they deserve. My friendly advice to you is to get off the high-horse you're perched on: the higher you are, the harder the fall.
Look at the graph, the orginal xbox was more powerful than pc's at the time. The ps3 and xbox 360 gens have had it similar and now it is 3x weaker.
This isnt the only issue however if the consoles are weaker the graphics on pc's suffer because publishers cater to the lowest common denominator.

So what if they are. Look at this way there more powerful than the previous consoles. I don't know when graphics became the most important aspect of every game.
Also if your expecting a Titan graphic card in a console your dreaming. The cost would be to high. I for one am grateful it means I have to spend less upgrading due to console limitations. I don't have the money to upgrade every year or two anymore.
