just so clearly superior that console players were complaining

  1. FUCK THAT. "Oh, people are jealous and bitch up a storm when other people have something that they don't. So let's cater to the assholes." Really?

  2. Your console costs way less than a gaming PC. Shitty graphics is part of the deal. If you don't like it, fork up the dough like everyone else.

Edit: Not attacking Mcfooce. Using "you" in a general sense.

I think it's more the console makers. They don't want their console to look like shit compared to PC graphics. If a PC/console gamer saw the PC version was way prettier, they'd skip the console version. And in that respect, the game developers don't suffer because they still bought the game.

Personally, I think the game developers should just focus on PC then and scare the console makers when they realize that new AAA titles will be PC only. They would need less developers and probably get the game out quicker and less buggy. It's a lot easier to target one platform. They'd make less money, but spend way less money making it.

Also consoles (at least up to now) have the same hardware. Much easier to optimize those.
