The 7th generation consoles such as the PS3 and XBOX360 are now considered household names in modern gaming. These consoles, featuring very powerful GPUs specially designed by nvidia for the PS3 and ATI for the XBOX360, as well as powerful CPUs, generate pixel perfect frames and smooth frame rates at large screen dimensions. Not only are these consoles useful for gaming, they can also be used as media players with their ability to connect to the internet to download or stream videos. Even the PS3's Blu-ray accepts Blu-ray discs to play movies.
Does this mean PC gaming is near extinction with the introduction of these powerful consoles?
One may think that PC death is in fact looming in the distance but it is far from the truth. PC gaming is and will always be the most powerful gaming platform. With its ability to be upgraded by replacing aged components such as memory, CPU, and video cards with more modern technologically superior models, the PC will always easily outperform the PS3 or XBOX360.
