I completely agree with the Rift CEO. Sure the PS4 and Xbox One are powerful(ish) today, and while PCs already [b]greatly[/b] out perform them, a year or 2 from now, PCs will have an even bigger leap ahead of consoles, and the consoles will be stuck with the same hardware configuration for their entire life cycle (which is at least 10 years).
What are your thoughts on this?
