Obviously the next.gen consoles win!

PC is inferior to the 360 and PS4 is superior to all of them.

yeah, if your definition of "shortly" is a 10 minute gap between first and 2nd (ps4) then yes. (as in a race?) metaphor 

Double check everything, I am usually wrong.

Should have waited for Mantle, gone with a cheap-ass multicore CPU and bump up the graphics card, a 7770 doesn't do the low-end rig justice!

Should have overclocked(Or is it already?) it as well - since as you usually say, there's a guide on it, it's simple, it's free.

One thing that could have been noted while talking about the consoles is that they all now require a subscription to Xbox Live or PlayStation Plus to access multiplayer and many other features.

"Premium PC".... 720p video.... 

Wouldn't it be best to compare 1080p PS4 footage to 1080p PC footage?

I was surprised at how well the entry level PC ran and also that the new Xbox controller isn't as good as the previous one. The second one is a bigger deal I think for us PC gamers. Now i really want to try out that controller.
