Apple is shitty and so are consoles.
Join the PC master race or forever suffer in purgatory.

@SW-User Specs wise, the new Xbox is up to speed with some high-end PCs. I can appreciate PC gaming, however never got into it.
Apple, quality wise, is now running side by side with the other major brands with the 8. I choose Apple as my phone due to its unmatched accessibility settings. As a blind individual, accessibility is the deciding factor. However, I do side with PC over MAC just because on that platform, Windows is king.

@BlindlyLooking With the lowest end of the high-end market maybe. It still won't be able to play every game in 60FPS or 4k and it will still have lower detail than most PCs. For casual gaming it may suffice, but for everything else it's like a Prius on a race track.

@SW-User 4K at 60fps is up to the developer, because the console can handle it.
I had sent the spec list to my dad, who's in the software consultant business, and asked if these numbers were in a computer..what he'd expect to pay. Anywhere from 5-7k (a rough estimate on his part).
Instead it's packed into a $500 console.
You are right though, if someone is a serious gamer... PC is the way to go. I'm not a serious gamer, I'm just ready to upgrade my Xb1. Microsoft just discontinued it due to to S variant

@BlindlyLooking That estimate doesn't hold up in the real world though. A console has all the chips soldered directly to the mainboard, they also don't use consumer grade chips. If every consumer were able to pay the prices Microsoft can because they buy in masses, PCs would be hell of a lot cheaper. You can't really compare consoles and PC from a spec standpoint because of that. All you can do is benchmark the hell out of the games and draw conclusions from that.
