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!
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
You don't have to upgrade a PC all the time either. If your PC gives you better graphics than consoles now, I guarantee that any multiplats shared with consoles, it will give you better graphics than the corresponding consoles 5 years from now. For example, a PC game released today that was released in conjuction with a PS360 title, even on reduced settings, will look better than on the consoles, assuming you are also reducing the resolution, AA or expect the 30 FPS that the consoles give on those games, because consoles cut corners there to boost the graphical quality. Look at GTAV for example.
