What are you confused about exactly? How PC hardware can be upgraded so quickly? In case you didn't know Intel, AMD and Nvidia release a new line of hardware every year and every 2 years they usually have a totally new architecture for their CPU's and GPU's. And I wouldn't say a new console always has an edge over the latest gaming PC hardware at the time of its release. For example when the PS3 came out in 2006 the Intel Core 2 architecture was available and Nvidia already had their 8000 series of GPU's which included the amazing 8800GT later in 2007.
