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?

Edited by Psy: 6/14/2014 8:08:26 AM>Choosing Android over Consoles for performance Ufookinwotm8? Stupid shit aside, it's not really a great loss considering that Sony is bringing out project morpheus [i]and[/i] Facebook bought out Oculus. Obviously far more expensive PCs will outperform consoles, that's just noshitsherlock.jpg. I would just like someone to show me a PC that costs the same as a PS4 that's able to run games just as well. And won't be completely outdated within a couple of years. And I really doubt the consoles will last 10 years, that's just a silly estimate. AAAND IT'S A FECKIN NECROBUMP.
