This is definitely Quote of the Day. The best part? This is coming from a guy that makes console games.

@MarkRein @Gerritzen @developonline LOL. You could build a better box last year.

Its cute people still think hardware is what separates console and PC gaming.
Mark Reid is still wrong... the original quote said the ARCHITECTURE is a generation ahead of what's in a PC. HMA and Jaguar and the GPU(? not sure if it's sea islands or not for sure) are a generation ahead. They aren't faster, or better, but they are newer.
Innovation separates the two. With all of the rehashed titles due to consoles over the years, true creativity remains on the PC.
"Our benchmarks on just the video and audio performance are 8-10 times superior to the current gen. (...PC...)"

That's one hella big claim, but I think someone needs to put the crack pipe down.
He claimed that the publishers benchmark tests rated the audio and video performance of the Xbox One at eight-to-ten times higher than the Xbox 360.

Quote the right thing for christ's sake. Goddamn PC master race all up in this bitch.
Who cares about performance and power? It's all about being new.
wouldn't mind having the total system throughput that the PS4 has as its using GDDR5 for all system tasks, which correct me if I'm wrong is a bit faster than DDR3
That's just the thing though. The hardware is not new. Its at least 1 generation old.
More money selling console games.why the fuck would EA care which platform you buy their game on?

I'll take 2 of whatever he is smoking or shooting or popping as bat shit as this statement is, 2 should last me a whole year.
Well, no. They do greater volume on consoles, but per-unit margins on equivalently-priced SKUs are greater on the PC you don't have to kick back to Microsoft to publish a Windows game. This assumes equal material, distribution and post-sale support costs, which we could expect to be marginally higher with PC SKUs vs. console SKUs in many cases.More money selling console games.
At least fifty.how many bits do the new consoles have anyway?
Who the fuck is Mark Rein?
That all really depends. If your going to college then you have to have a PC. The extra cost to make sure it can play games is minor, compared to buying a whole console.are consoles even in competition with pcs? sure there are cross platform titles, but for the majority of people you're either a pc gamer or console gamer, rarely do people decide that the massive cost increase is worth going to the PC, if anything consoles are more in competition with their rival consoles
Cause on PC, EA doesn't have to pay Microsoft 30% per sale.why the fuck would EA care which platform you buy their game on?
