Believe it or not...I don't only care about graphics when I play PC games.

I upgrade my computer every few years. It looks AMAZING in the beginning, and by the end of its life, it's not so great. I don't care though...all the games I own transfer to my next PC, and they only look better later on.

Like if I bought Gears of War for my current PC, it'd probably run like crap, but it'd run. On my PC that I'll own later this year, it'll look great. And on my PC I own in a few years, Gears of War will look as good as it possibly can ever look.

But still...I upgrade every few years because otherwise my PC won't be able to play the new games, basically...not because it won't look TOP-NOTCH.

Interesting observation - that' normally the REVERSE of what happens with consoles.

First, console games don't look as nice, but after a few years they look much nicer.

I guess since programmers are all familiar with PC tech, they already know how to squeeze every single bit out of the hardware to start with...
