Also let's not forget that the best, cutting-edge games utilizing the latest technology are pretty much out of console gamers' reach. Consoles have a hard time keeping up with the system requirements of newer games simply because its impossible to replace a video chip (or other piece of hardware) in a console. Case in point: Crytek's new engine with soft body physics simulation will be coming to PCs soon. How long until we see something similar on consoles?
- klausa 14y agoUntil new consoles are released? It's not like Crytek is small company that no one ever heard about - they're well known, they have released games on current generations and I'm sure they have preliminary hardware of next-gens.
- 10098 14y agoWell, yes, but imagine buying a new console vs. just buying a new graphics card or a few additional gigs of ram.
- klausa 14y agoHuh? Second-best graphics card (GeForce 680) is $550 these days. Xbox 360 was $300/$400 depending which version you chose. PS3 was $500/$600 and I really can't imagine next generation being significantly more than that. Or were you talking about something else?
