Michael Pachter a famous video games Analyst has said that "no one out there has a PC as powerful as a PS3". He also went on to say that "PC gaming is – more or less – dying, as the money was and is on consoles". You can read the full article here.
Obviously he's not doing his job correctly. He also said something along the lines of: no good games will be made any more because fans complained about the ending of Mass Effect 3.

Edit:- I disagree with him completely.

It is possible these days. The high school i used to go to was pretty awfull. Some of the classes there were like, get in a room, watch a movie then talk about it... or get in a room, put phones on my ears and listen to music while teacher is reading magazines or seeing emails/facebook... or get in the room and speak about things that happened last week... or simply have no class at all and go hang out with friends somewhere outside of school.

I wonder if this only happens here in my country... I'm pretty sure there's more schools out there that do the same or even worst.

Hardly. Some of the classes (as you say) may not be useful, but if you didn't go to school you'd likely be at home watching TV all day...missing all of the classes.

If you have the self motivation to learn at home then you will do so at school too, with aid of teachers/materials.

I wouldn't stay faster, AMD has a few stock CPUs that push 4.0GHz and higher, but they certainly are FAR more powerful processors.

PC was dying 10 years ago? It was dying when Xbox 360 and PS3 were released. I don't see PC dying in the next 20 years AT ALL. More people are switching to PC, because the end of this console's generation has arrived.

I agree with you 100%, I came back to PC gaming in February this year because it's so much better than console gaming & easier to get games. I still have my PS3 for exclusives like Uncharted, but everything looks so much better on PC & everything runs in 1080p.

That's my point. Unless something else is developed(which I don't see that happening), PC will stay on top of the game.

I have to agree. I can play Skyrim with most of the textures at 2k - 4k resolution and get around 30 fps ON A LAPTOP! The ps3 sucks, and the xbox is pretty much crap too.

Don't get me wrong, I have a ps3 and an xbox360 and I have plenty of games for them. I just prefer playing games on my pc.

I got my PS3 on release. Haven't bought a game for it since Bad Company 2 released, which was 2010 I think? Got Xbox 360 for my 15th birthday I believe, used that for 6 months? Haven't touched it since. Last played game I remember playing was Mafia 2(when it released). Got my PC back in 2011, around Feb/ March time, and couldn't been happier.

I think it's the other way around, PS3 exclusives are the best looking console games.But most of them (Uncharted, Heavy Rain etc) have really shallow gameplay.

Well... maybe he means no one has a single processor as powerful as the PS3's...
PC is always dying.. thats like saying water is wet. If you compare numbers, strickly speaking consoles sales out weight PC sales for games. This does not include PC's used only for facebook games.
Fans always complain. I could however see EA no longer releasing a good PC game just to spite customers, but even that is unlikely because at the end of the day its about what will sell not what a company "feels".

Do those numbers you refer to include digital sales ?
Because I know that a lot of the "best selling" games lists don't. So every game you buy on Steam doesn't count.

As popular as steam is, it in no way comes close to a billion digital sales a year. The majority of PC games are sold digitally now anyway if im not mistaken, or at least most physical PC games are just discs and codes that require use of DRM like steam/origin/Ubisoft... My thought on it anyway.
