If a new computer was made, would you believe or think that it is possible for a computer to be as powerful as the Xbox one or Ps3?
Would it be possible for it to play the same games the Ps3 and Xbox one have, but apdapted for Pc?
I think it's possible, but what about you?
What is your opinion?
 
I'm sure you mean the PS4, not the PS3, if you're placing it parallel with the Xbox One.

There definitely will be computers as powerful and more powerful than them. Actually, technically PCs many times more powerful than both consoles have been around for a long, long time - the PS4's core processor is 1.6 GHz, the Xbox One's is 1.75 GHz, and with dual- and quad-core processors gaming PCs can be anywhere like 16 GHz.

There will definitely be (or probably already are) PCs that can play the same games as the PS4 and Xbox One, but I'd prefer to play such games on a PS4 :cat:
 
Yes they will be stronger than those 2 consoles in the future. In fact I think some out there already more powerful today! Hail computers. All the rom hacking. THE ROM HACKING I TELL YOU. It's great. :)

Yes, there are already computers who are more powerful than the PS4 and the Xbox One, just like @Dragovian and @Spinnerweb said. But don't count emulating the PS4/Xbox One yet, as we can't even have an accurate emulation of the PS2/Xbox/GameCube yet (in the sense where most of the games have a yo-yo as a frame rate).

S, if you want to emulate the next gen, see you in ~10 years !

You can't just ask the question like that we don't know the future maybe yes or maybe not

Take a look at the specs of some computers; this question can already be answered.
Also, don't forget about the supercomputers. I know those ones aren't for public use, but they can still be classified as a computer.

Quad-Core/Dual-Core's don't multiply the processing speed by 4x or 2x. A 4.0ghz Quad Core isn't 16ghz. It's just 4 separate processors. But that said, PCs get up to 5ghz Processors now, which is huge. PC's overpower consoles easily.

I know. But they do increase it. I'm sorry, I don't know that much about gaming PCs, but a guy on a gaming site looking for recommendations did say his processors added up to 16 GHz. I apologize. :sorry: Still, PCs are technically more powerful, like I said.

Thats a lot of damn money for the "Ultimate Gaming Experience" Only the Wealthy could afford such a high power computer. it could ruin the economy for all i care!

Also, having a powerful PC is a good thing, but now that I saw that this thread is in the Development Section, it reminds me of two things:

A powerful PC gets powerless if the game was atrociously optimized (if the developer was lazy, or didn't know how to optimize the game).
If a game is CPU-bound, no matter if you have a 400$ PC, a netbook or an Alienware, it will run at 60 fps. Because Frame Rate limitations. (Note that most of the recent games are CPU-bound, but for example, Minecraft isn't a CPU-bound game, explaining why your frames per seconds can go higher than 60-61)

This is true. I'm planning on getting popular games such as Sims 3/4, Skyrim and future Bethesda games, and so forth, but I also like to play games like Starbound and DayZ, which are early development and could just end up being 'atrociously optimized'. But regardless, what is there to lose with getting a Gaming PC? About £500 - £1000, actually.

I believe that there are computers stronger than the PS4 and Xbox one already if you count supercomputers. If you don't, I am sure there are some desktops that have more processing power.

Technically, the PS4 and Xbox One are computers themselves, so.. yeah. They are as powerful as themselves :p
