Build a PC that has:

1.) Equal or greater power than a PS4
2.) <$550USD price tag for the whole package(shipping included)
3.) Bluray Drive
4.) HDMI port
5.) Small size (doesn't need to be tiny like a PS4, but small enough that you can take it places easily and without hassle)
6.) Dualshock 4 price included (+$60) Sixaxis support as well.
7.) Comes with 1 new AAA title(+$45)
8.) A decent mouse keyboard will be required for doing non-gaming activities(+ aprox. $30)
9.) Capture Card.(Share button yo!)
10.) Runs "Legion"

These next two three may be a bit difficult.
11.) Runs PlayStation's Exclusive titles such as Killzone and Gran Turismo, titles that I am a fan of.
12.) Still runs brand new games in 5-7 years without needing to be upgraded.
13.) For an extra $20ish it comes with full part failure coverage for 2 years.

If your magical box meets all of these requirements, I'll get a PC.


I hope now you guys can see why consoles are what some people want.

Here you go plebs.

From the get-go, we have a problem: The APU in the PS4 is unique. It pairs an 8-core Jaguar CPU with, essentially, the Radeon HD 7850. The best AMD APU currently on the market (the Richland A10-6800K) has about one third of the processing power of the PS4GǦs GPU. There are no 8-core Jaguar parts on the market GÇö only the quad-core Kabini A6-5200, which is paired with an even weaker GPU than the A10. Kaveri, when it comes to market in January 2014, will be a closer match GÇö but the PS4 will still have around twice the graphics grunt. In short, weGÇÖre forced to use a CPU and discrete GPU. It just got a lot harder to hit our $400 target.

The other big problem is the 8GB of GDDR5 RAM, which has an utterly insane peak bandwidth of 176 gigabytes per second. There is no way to build a PC with such a configuration. In the PS4, the RAM is used by both the CPU and GPU in a HSA 2.0 configuration, providing a sizable speed boost GÇô an option that isnGÇÖt available to the PC world until Kaveri launches. ItGÇÖs important to note that even if we could slot some GDDR5 RAM into a PC motherboard, it would probably be much more expensive than conventional DDR3.

so we lost all the "PCMASTERRACE" crowd??
