PC vs. PS4 limitations

[Kosmos992k]

The PS4 is still a console; you can call it whatever you want: a low-end PC, mid-ranged, whatever. The fact is that its specs are locked in; if it were truly a PC-based environment, you could change the components of said console to match the needs of a game.

The PC-based architecture simply allows games to be better tooled to perform as expected on PS4; to say that it earns the same respects of PCs, though, is not true.

OK, look, stop defending the PC, it's not under attack. The vast majority of PCs in existence will *never* see a hardware upgrade during their life, how is that any different? PC chauvinism isn't a substitute for logic, reason and fact.

p.s. please do not assume I am ignorant of PC technology or that I am some console fanboy. I've worked with PCs at the hardware level since 1985, I've torn down and rebuilt PCs, I've built systems from scratch. I'm by no means a PC hater. I'm just calling it as I see it.
