I don't think console gamers have ever seen a decent resolution and frame rate. Once they do they'll never go back. It's like crack! Cocaine, not Miley.
Sure, but how many of us have 60"+ televisions? I'd be willing to bet the standard is easily between 42-47". Plus, most consoles player don't care about resolutions and frames per second. I feel like if you're counting pixels on a console game, you're better off playing games on the PC and ignoring consoles altogether.

The thing is though some games just flat out work better on a locked hardware set. How many times have people complained about a PC port or some aspect of the game being less than satisfactory but the game received great reviews on console?
We're going to see a hell of a lot less of that now that both consoles are x86.
I didn't mean to get all your panties in a ruffle there Zerotool, I game on all platforms that interest me.
Just remember, these consoles will hold back PC games for the next 5+ years. A lot of games I play are ports from console games and they play well (on PC hardware that is a few years old) because they were designed around a console that is 6 years old.
But I like this cycle, keeps me from needing to upgrade that often. 1998-2006 was a bad period because I had to constantly upgrade.
I just wish the next gen consoles had more powerful hardware because they will define the graphic standard for the next several years.
They only define something if developers want to lock down the game to those standards.

I went from PC to mainly console now and I have no problem playing either. Go ahead and limit yourself to PC and miss out on some of the best games you'll ever play.
I am glad you know Microsoft's financial risk with the xb1 and their entire plan.
I don't know how you get the idea that they could sell it for $250. That is utterly ridiculous.
Microsoft has never known how to price anything.
Just think of the Surface.
Gee, lets bring a tablet to market that has a third the resolution of the iPad and almost no software support and lets price it on par with the iPad.
Lets see how that works out.

It had 100% profit margin built in so they easily could have priced it lower.
The 360 was priced real well. Part of the reason why, including the head start, that helped them get a big head start with that console.

Just leaving this here...
I really hope there's no massive hardware failures this time, there shouldn't be.
Yep.
And the Surface was/is one of the biggest bombs in technology ever in terms of investment v losses.
A nicely optimized tablet with USB/etc that Apple is missing would be great. However, an overpriced crappy schizophrenic mess like the Surface series (seriously, the RT vs. Pro is absolutely epic nonsense) .. just had fail written on it from the first concept.
Tablet/phone are locked up markets anyway. It's ironic, because this is exactly like watching competitors to Windows trying to break into the desktop market, only reversed.
