You're all better than us, we get it.

EDIT: As for when the new systems will be out, I bet its not until well into 2013. With the new GTA coming out and rumoured around late 2012, I can't imagine Rockstar would release its biggest game at the same time that new consoles were coming out.
Whoa whoa whoa... hold on now. I did not say that to come across as snobby. I love console gaming and I've chosen certain games for my 360 over the PC version. All I am saying is that it is time for a new generation of consoles. The technology has fallen behind enough now that in a year or two it will be necessary. Remember the 360 is six years old now. This thing isn't going to be in the store tomorrow.

Of course a PC will always be more powerful but the gap is becoming too wide. I think it is fair to compare them though. Game development in the past 3 or 4 years had shifted to the console market. The PC was really left at the wayside. Most games were simply ported over to the PC and were routinely given better reviews on the Xbox. Hell, some even looked better. Not anymore. Now we're starting to see games that look and perform better on the PC. I'd like to see that gap shortened again.
