PC gaming is a real pain

If I buy Gears of War on the 360, and then buy Gears of War 2 two years later, I don't have to get new hardware even though Gears of War 2 is supposed to be a gorgeous graphical upgrade compared to the first title. Now if I bought Gears of War for the PC (which I did), and then bought Gears of War 2 with that same graphical update two years later, I may need a new video card. My other option is to turn the settings down until the game will run. So yes, you can get the same games on the PC, but they will constantly need more power, and they are NOT being optimized to run well on PCs these days.

 

You're talking about a past situation. Even if a game is not well optimized you will still be able to play any X360/PS3 games on a 2008 gaming PC because the console architecture are closer to PCs.

Second point is that recomended specs for games are not evolving as fast as the hardware is. A 2 years old 8800GTX is capable of running EVERY games on the market at max settings!

Btw Gears 2 is not coming going to be released on PC.
