it’s hard to tell which screen is from what – they look very similar in quality. i think graphics are getting to the point where it’s hard to differentiate the next gen from the current.

yes the pc images look really good, but I guarantee that if I play the same game on my ps3 that I would have just as much fun while at the same time be loving the visuals and graphics the ps3 can throw out, just as I did with my uncharted 2 & 3, mwf, killzone 2 & 3, cod and metal gear solid, they were all fun and looked great to me. I would not pay £700 more for a system just for games to look a little bit better, I’ve had fun on my £250 game machine….thanks

LOL – $1000 for a decent PC for higher resolution water effects or reflections vs $250 for a PS3 – yeah – it is a no brainer for me… the PS3 – games are intended for FUN, you know…

I have consoles, and PCs, but prefer to play on the consoles on the projector (the PC as well), but consoles for me!

I strongly disagree because 90% game studios hasn’t even come close to completely exhausting out the playstation 3’s hardware itself let alone ways to use playstation move & stereoscopic 3D with playstation vita launching soon. Also it takes money to make money & 90% of game studios do not have a enough funding for next gen projects because most of their budget is invested on several game projects this gen & need to financially recover before they can fund newer projects.Also there is no reason for the majority of gamers to rush into next gen because theres enough diversity of quality games & content to last this gen until at least until late 2014.

In reply to pete007. As lovely as PC graphics power is... We still dont get a great variety of games on our machines. Yes we get the top FPS, Strategy games. A few good Racing games as well and a few RPG's as well, but we still lack variety though. I would LOVE to see a racing game like Forza on PC or Lost Odyssey. Im a PC gamer and just enjoy playing games on my pc, but i would love a wider variety of games that interest me that would make more use of the power we have available. Other than that PC graphics will always be tops regardless.

Not really convinced by the images above. Oh, the PC ones look better, but really, if you want the opportunity for cutting edge visuals all the time you buy a PC. If you want to conveniently play games on a giant HDTV and not mess with occasional compatibility issues you get a console.

The argument that we might need to move on to the next gen consoles just because a PC game looks better is ridiculous. When the 360 and PS3 came out, their graphics processors were already behind current PC cards. Ditto for every console released since the late 90s.

Personally, I like consoles more because they force programmers to improve their code and engine efficiencies to make the games better instead of just pushing sloppy, bloated code for PC and hoping that the gamer has an updated graphics card that can crunch all the numbers to make it look great.

I guess I’m tired of the following two arguments: “Game consoles should move to next gen to keep up with PC graphics” and “Consoles are killing PC gaming” There is room for both PC gaming and consoles.

Played U2 again almost 2 years after launch and it still puts most games out there to shame and the beauty of it all is that even if the game didnt look as good as it did it still would have been a brilliant game, something that Crytek can take to heart because Crysis 2 looks good even on console but is an average game at best. Crysis 2 is multiplat, why not compare it to a game like KZ3.

The difference in these images is not that great, the “next-gen” is not going to be a massive leap in power or graphics. The Wii U levels the power playing field, as far as consoles go, but no console is ever going to compete with a high-end PC.

Better graphics? Emperors new clothes.

I don’t see the fuzz. Since gameplay is more important than graphics and money is even more important than gameplay, I can smell the opportunity for game developers to improve gameplay over graphics on consoles, if the graphics part cannot be improved anymore, but still is good enough, And a real hardcore gamer does care about the total package.

These PS3 screens don’t suck, they’re just less beautifull. If people really care about the looks so much, than buy that PC and everything with it. If you own a console you will find your gems there. In the end you play games, not machines.
