Of course a $1000 gaming PC will be better because they are upgradeable and it is 2.5 times the cost of the PS4. So you can't really compare the two. It's obvious PC would win. A console is a closed box, which makes it no competition. You can only compare the PS4 to the next Xbox. I'm looking at getting a PS4 because my friends will get it. But I also game on PC, but only for games that are PC only.

@Ergo You cannot find anything in the gaming PC world which can be close from a technological point of view. This is a revolutionary APU design with a unified memory model.
Sony has shown demos where the PS4 competes with a top gaming pc: i7 (ivy) + 16 GB RAM + GTX-680. And you cannot buy this pc by $1000.

There is nothing "supercharged" about the PS4--it's a very middle of the road design, horsepower-wise, with a mobile-class CPU and mid-tier GPU. It has nothing on a current $1000 gaming PC where you'd have more RAM, a *much* faster CPU and a *much* faster GPU, and it's not even 4th quarter yet.
(This is the reason everyone obsesses over the RAM--because i's the only stand-out feature.)
