consoles have a definite advantage in that developers only have to worry about one system and its capabilites (unless theyre gonna put it out on more systems). also they only have to push 640x480 or whatever tv's are, whereas my pc has to render like 1.7 million more pixels than that, thats like over 5 times as much. (in 1600x1200). i guess thats our own fault but if you were to put any console upto the task there would be no way, but ofc thats not really fair, just throwin it out there.
