Which console came closest to a high end PC at the time when it released?

Basically, what was the most powerful console for its time?
>>
360 was pretty close to pc at launch
>>
>>376072880
PS3
>>
n64 and other early 3d consoles is one point
>>
>>376073480
no they were garbage compared to pc graphics at the time
>>
Sony has always been competitive with PC, even if Pcbros don't want to admit it.
>>
>>376073547
you caught me i was born in 1998 this is coming straight out of my ass
>>
360

I remember people hyping up Gears Of War's graphics a lot pre-release
>>
PS3

Dreamcast was ahead of its time but not sure how it compared to computers at the time

Nice samefagging, also no, neither the xbox 360 nor the PS3 were even close to what a PC could do, Crysis comes to mind in comparison
>>
>>376074002
You know Crysis came out 2 years after the 360 was released right

Neo Geo. There's a reason that shit was $600 in 1990.

I think the OG Xbox even surpassed PCs when it was released, at least for a while. I remember reading something about this previously.
>>
>>376072880
80s era had a lot of consoles that were more powerful than pcs

00s era ABSOLUTELY DID NOT, no idea how people can be so retarded to think that
>>

Nintendo 64.

>>376073547
>garbage
No.
Besides, OP said "came closest".

>>376073317
When the 3shitty came out and tried to get 720p@30fps running, I already had a 1680x1050 monitor and usually targeted 50+fps.
>>
>>376072880
I'd say nes (1983) was better in games compared to c64 (1982) despite having much less ram.
>>
xbox because same peripherials
>>
>>376072880
PS2 was better than PCs with the same price.
>>
>>376077192
price isn't a relevant metric when lower tier machine can only play lower tier content
>>
>>376076258
actually pc's where still beating it's shit in Amiga and atari st had better graphics than consoles at the time
