Top-end PC "already more powerful" than next-gen, consoles unfit for Star Citizen 
Deep space dweller Chris Roberts is sticking with PC for his ambitious Star Citizen because, frankly, the consoles now and even next-gen don't have what it takes to deliver the experience.
The main reason is memory capacity as you "can't do that much with 512MB" of RAM, as opposed to a PC with around 4GB. Roberts looks to today's high-end gamer as tomorrow's normal gamer.
