ANYONE trying to compare PCs to consoles are just plain ignorant, self-conscious, or just have a superiority complex. It cracks me up when people spout out that "a $80 blah blah video card can kick a consoles ass", well that $80 card didn't cost $80 when it came out, and it more than likely came out YEARS after the console did. If you try to compare the two, then you need to take a system from 5 years ago with, at most, a mid range card, mid range cpu, and the same amount of RAM as the consoles, and have no upgrades or anything done to them, and see how they run in comparison. IF ANYTHING, the PC crowd should be pissed at the developers for not optimizing the software to the hardware that is available. Anyone saying that the consoles are holding them back, would be like Porsche bitching that my Honda Civic is holding them back. It's just plain dumb. As technology evolves, especially with graphics, you get diminished returns on investments. To use another analogy, if you compare a modern sport bike right off the show room floor to a motor GP racing bike, they are VERY similar, but it'll cost an easy $80,000 just to get an extra 10-20mph top end or 2 seconds off quarter mile. The reason for ports (which I despise) is a business decision, I would wager that the install base of gamers on consoles are far greater than that on PCs. Sure PCs outnumber consoles probably like 1000 to 1, but overall, PC gaming is a much smaller market. I hope new consoles come out within the next two years just so we could have 1080/60p native, but more importantly having higher amounts of mp, realistic physics, and higher detailed environments. So please, grow up some, stop having the pissing contest, and enjoy the games for what they are.
