Sony and M$ consoles would be far stronger and more capable if they had Phenom II based CPU cores in them rather than the garbage Jaguar cores in them (Jaguar is bulldozer downsized for tablet/mobile use).
There are more PC gamers in the world using Phenom II systems than there are Crapdozer systems. Phenom II was very successful in its time and Crapdozer didn't exactly encourage Phenom II owners to upgrade.
Well...
You might have bought a phenom 2 and i have bought and owned several phenom 2 cpus. But that was ages ago. You would be a fool to buy a modern AMD cpu for a high end gaming pc today, but you would be even more of a fool to throw away money on a phenom 2 to play today's games.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that the Phenom 2 was never any good. I jumped all over the PH2 when they first came out. Bought at least 4 just for me and built about a dozen PCs with phenom 2s in them (for friends and family not counting the builds that were sold at the pc
shop). The phenom 2 was a decent cpu...just not today
