Transplanted from the PS4 Neo thread.
That is very true, but a LOT of PC games have awful optimization. PC games sometimes have crazy system specs, way beyond the console version.
PC gamers just throw a big enough rig at a game and it runs fine. Console games need a lot more optimization not to run like poo.
There have been at least a few games that ran fine on consoles but didn't on PC. That Batman game comes to mind and another big one that I can't think of.
Yet somehow PC games manage to cost less despite far more varion to deal with. Different, mobos, architectures, multiple different graphics cards from different manufacturers and methods. Unknown amounts of vram and system ram.
Yeah, people are blowing this out of proportion. Anything made for the two new skus are made on known hardware, so the console bennies will still exist.
