I heard an argument before, and want to get your guys thoughts on it.. im deciding of building a pc for the first time, or getting a PS4

PS4 is a closed platform, so developers can optimize "code to the metal" which will produce better graphical games then a high end PC (even with the most powerful graphics card).....

is it true that as graphcis card get stronger,graphics wont change because of diminishing return

is it true that pc games graphically are held back, because developers aren't making pc games that are optimizing and aiming for that high end pc game with a super rig

It is true that pc graphics are being held back by console graphics. However, games still look better on PC.

the "code to metal" approach allows a $400 console perform as well as a $600-$800 PC in gaming. That being said, if you get a better PC, you can get better graphics quality due to the fact that games have some settings (such as AA) that you can enable only on PC.
