I agree. The top end PCs will always stay ahead. And, skepticism is warranted regarding most "sales pitches". But, I do think "the practical gap" between normal gaming PCs and Consoles will continue to shrink over the years.

This thread is "The Future And Current Status of AMD..."; so, it appropriately contains posts that speculate about things that impact the "future status" of AMD.

To me, the importance of major consoles all being made of the same basic AMD CPU/GPU/APU technology is that they are going to "set the tone" for which technology is "best supported" by the large game developers.

The above is certainly not an overwhelming advantage for AMD -- but, an "improved situation" that helps AMD survive and leads to sustained AMD competition for Intel/Nvidia. If the consoles were Intel/Nvidia, that ultimately might weaken or kill AMD -- leading to no competition for Intel/Nvidia -- leading to high prices and deliberately holding back improved technology.

Competition is good for all -- regardless of what CPU/GPU one purchases. But, for competition to exist, there has to be viable competitors. So, I "pull for" AMD to continue on
