Sounds like an amazing person
so without the baseline consoles won't there PC always be outdated?
Wut. No.
Without baseline consoles you'll have a new iteration of the console with new hardware in a much shorter period of time than you would have typically waited for the next generation.
You'll never have consoles featuring all the newest tech unless companies feel comfortable with selling $2000+ systems. The advantage PCs have is that you can upgrade certain parts instead of the whole thing.
