That was exactly my point.
So it's price shows nothing about it's ability to play games in better (lower) quality.
PC will evolute, and consoles won't (for next 4 years).
But today's 4k PC will become old trash after 4 years as well.
Moreover, console will play all games in the same FPS and without driver errors or whatever even after 10 years.

So will the console, and the games date just as fast for consoles. Since kids don't have alot of money the games and consoles to have potential for longer lifespan. A kid may not be able to afford the latest and greatest console and games, so they buy one that is a little older and play with it.
Then there are the kids that constantly rag on their parents for a new updated console. The parents reluctantly jump into that, knowing full well an arsenal of games will have to be bought to keep junior happy.
Regardless, I don't think there is a meeting ground for the PC/Console until the console allows for elaborate interface connections, i.e, as a PC. I don't think that would be a bad thing overall. Afterall, whenever I change between the BOB II and IL2 I have to reconfigure abunch of things to get either game to work correctly. I don't play either on the Vista, so I have a dual boot to XP. Yeah, it's a pain in the wazoo. It's would be great to just pop in a disk, and everything worked properly.
That would require standardization of many things to work, and from what I see... Sony, Nintendo, Xbox are not going to yield up anything to outside vendors. The have fewer problems when they have control of the whole console and it's interface products.
