Just thought i would bring this back up now we have more info on the new consoles. To start with BF4 and Ghosts will only be running at 720P on the Xbone, even the PS4 will only be able to run BF4 at 900p. Meanwhile on my iMac with the 680mx i will be running BF4 at 1080p locked at 60fps NO problem. Like i said optimization will only get you so far.

I'm standing by my original projection. There's more to graphical fidelity than just resolution and framerate, e.g. 360 and X1 versions of Ghosts both render at 720p/60fps, but nobody would say they look the same. Some launch titles will be better optimized than others, in next year's titles the developers will make the most comparative gains, and by 2015 the baseline at which PC games are developed against will be enough that further optimization on the consoles won't be able to keep up.

But if graphics are your only concern, consoles were never really going to be interesting for you.
