So the dudes at Machinima decided to build computers that would emulate the capabilities of PS4 and XB1 and then compare to say which is better, the PS4 and XB1. Now I think the premise of this is stupid since they really seem to be oversimplifying what all goes into the performance of a console system. What's more interesting to me is the fact that in their efforts to replicate the PS4 and XB1 with a gaming PC, they wound up spending 1K on each PC they created. Let the people on this site tell it, you could make a gaming PC for 400. That seems to be a load of ? .
