Remember when consoles used to be powerful and had unique hardware, /v/? Now they are glorified low-mid range locked PCs that are outdated upon release.
and yet they've always been cheaper than pc's, which is still true to this day
>>735118013way too much work now
>>735118013>Remember when consoles used to be powerful and had unique hardwareNo. I remember when the sort of retard who unironically watches anime thought powerPC parts were unique or that the cell wasn't a giant boondoggle to create a worse GPU. If they had been alive back then I'm sure /v/ would have been the sort of retard who seriously believed the "emotion engine" would grow in power over time like magic.
>>735118013Unironically the last innovation came from Nintendo making a portable console that wasn't essentially beefier phone hardware, the companies kinda just failed to innovate otherwise, they want to rely on exclusives that were coded on PCs because the only other reasons to buy a console are convenience (setting it up, playing it) and price.

>>735118013Consoles were always weak compared to gaming PCs, so, no.
>>735118013>when consoles used to be powerful and had unique hardware, Nope. The PS3 used a modified GTX 7800 which was immediately BTFO by the 8800 released that yearThe last time console were actually more powerful than PCs was in the early-mid 90s because 3D accelerators weren't mainstream yet. Once GPUs and especially Nvidia entered the scene PC hardware developed dramatically>low-mid range locked PCs that are outdated upon release.Objective improvment over the frankenstein shit Sony used to make
>>735118013That was just a clusterfuck out of HPC hardware.
>>735118489I'll take the super exotic and bleeding edge emotion engine and CELL over some amd cpu yanked from micro center everytime.
