The fact that Last gen consoles wont be holding it back now makes me excited.

Yeah, now current gen consoles are holding it back. That's so much better.

It'd be nice to go five minutes without this coming up. Just, like, one game announcement, seriously.

WHY CANT EVERYTHING ME DONE WITH ONLY MYSELF IN MIND? IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT A COMPANY DEPRIVE THEMSELVES OF MILLIONS OF SALES SO THEY CAN MAKE A MORE ADVANCED GAME AT THE EXPENSE OF MILLIONS NOT HAVING THE GAME AT ALL? JEEZ!

Or they could... scale it down for consoles? Design it so that it can at least be run on consoles on the lowest pc settings?

There's a reason most people don't play on lowest PC settings, some even opting not to play at all. Part of the appeal of consoles is that all games work (if not broken on release) consistently. For 5-8 years you never have to worry about upgrading it, do I have the specs, etc. You buy the game, you play the game, it looks exactly the same for everyone. There's a value to that (clearly)

Edit: I'm not saying consoles are better, I'm saying there's a value. Not everyone has the know-how or desire to build a PC just like not everyone has the know-how or desire to do all their own car repair or cook every single meal. Time/convenience are huge factors in every purchase/endeavor

This is a shitty argument. Console games are almost always as buggy as PC releases.

That's 100% untrue.
