Well, the newest consoles are hitting their fourth birthdays. They're getting outdated since 3rd parties don't make versions with newer hardware and software. Computers, though, have tons of new tech that they reap with so much modularity and all the equipment manufacturers and developers. So they can stay up to date. Consoles, in all honesty, are more of a casual, middle-intensity gamer platform for multiple local players or for a cheaper alternative to buffing up a computer for true gaming purposes.
