Crytek: it is impossible for next-gen console reach high-end PCs

Cevat Yerli, from Crytek, founder has expressed its opinion on next-generation consoles by making it impossible for the latter to reach the performance offered by a high-end computer, both for economic reasons that interdependent market between them: " Without violating the non-disclosure agreement in place, I can say that is realistically impossible, from a purely economic point of view, transform a PC from 2000-3000 dollars on a console from $ 500. With this, however, does not mean that next generation consoles will have this price ".

Yerli he added: " companies could also launch a console by $ 2000, but the budget of most consumers is much lower. So, considering this aspect, the production cost of a high-end PC and power in Watts needed for its operation, equal almost to that of a fridge, this is practically impossible . "

Yerli's words are certainly true, but what will first of all will be the ability of developers to harness the full power of machines available, always keeping in mind the complexity of their architectures. We hope to soon see what will be able the new console.
