The architecture was relayed to game developers beforehand and they're developing games accordingly. Anyway, even on PC recent games have been more GPU heavy than CPU. Only exception being GTA IV which is a CPU vampire.

It's interesting how the forum seems to have decided that the PS4 is in pole position for the next battle of the consoles. After Microsoft's u-turn on pre-owned games, most articles I've seen seem to be talking about the XBox One being top dog.
The thing all console gamers seem to forget is that pretty much everyone has a PC, for the price of a console, you could turn an everyday PC into a gaming powerhouse, for even less if you built it as a gaming PC from the start. Yeah you might want a bigger monitor, but once you get that bigger monitor you'll appreciate how great it is to use it for everyday usage. I've got a 1920*1200 24" LCD monitor and it's fantastic for everyday use and also great for games, it's a higher res than any of the TV's you guys have got (I doubt anyone has a 4k set just now....) and cost me Ł200 a few years ago.Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

Among my friends, I know maybe 5-6 people who have a desktop, and they are all gamers or coders. Or are have had machines for close to a decade and think gaming means Hearts or Solitaire.

My house is very minimalist with most of our junk hidden. I don't like bookshelves or hideous DVD collections on display, and have put a lot of thought into how my house looks. That is probably quite sad to some people lol, but I enjoy design and like to show that in my living space. Just bought a brand new build house so in the process of getting that sorted whilst living with the in-laws
I used own a desktop and used it for gaming but preferred the options consoles offered in terms of available games and I couldn't be bothered to try and keep up with the hardware. I know people here say you can build a PC that will game for years on its present spec, but I can also buy a console that will sit under my TV and play the games I want to which suits my own personal needs. Its not for everyone and I wouldn't try and convert a PC gamer to switch to consoles because it makes no difference to me what they do. I don't game regularly enough these days anyway. I bought 'Grid 2' a couple of weeks ago and finally put the disk in my Playstation yesterday after a day of decorating. I played it for all of 40 minutes and I'll most likely not play it again for a couple of weeks. I don't have the time these days sadly. I'm also told by friends that when your first child comes along, gaming will very much be a thing of the past in any case. I'll grab the odd five minutes and make the most of it while I can.

You can get some fairly minimalist cases though I've got myself a nice looking Samsung monitor on my desk and the case below which keeps my PC nice and quiet. Not sure if you'd approve of the rest of the **** on my desk though

PC gaming is the best thing for the likes of yourself who knows what they are looking at and can spec accordingly.
But most people just want a box under the tele and to be able to buy games for years to come and know they'll work just as well.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Yeah Mark sums it up for me in a brief sentence lol. I appreciate you can get small PC's these days but I prefer an even smaller laptop for surfing the net and editing photographs. My work give me a decent laptop to run SolidWorks too and I bring that home when I need to do extra CAD work.
We use these: Work Station Specialists Laptop Solidworks
I dare say it would run many games as it has a mean graphics card but I don't need it for that type of thing. I sold a desk a few years back that used to have my PC on, and don't want another one. Its good to know PC gaming is still alive and well as its easy to assume consoles are the only form. I just prefer a games unit I can hide away until I need it..

Google and Apple fancying a piece of the console pie?

I can't see either being successful with the size of the fanbase for both the xBox and PS4, but never say never. For me though its a bit like the mobile and tablet market where established competitors are hard to break, or at least take a lot of time to bridge the gap. We'll see..
Think they could have avoided the RS200. It's probably not the same car from 1986, but having a similar spec one doesn't really help the festive atmosphere.
