This is why I use HD consoles even for games that also come out on PC

You are forgetting about optimization.

Let's see how Crysis runs, unoptimized in an HD console.

60fps? 1920x1080? Full graphics, texture and physics details? 16x anisotropic filtering? 8x FSAA? 2GB RAM? HDR?

No. No. No. No. No. No. And, no.

It wouldn't happen. What this shows you is that in fact, despite the excessive requirements, your average gaming rig will still be able to handle Stranglehold. The same cannot be said the other way around.

The point he was making was about high system requirements and you bring out the game with the highest system requirements for PC to counter him, how does that make sense?

It makes about as much sense as comparing system specs for an unoptimized port to the PC against the same game optimized for a console.

Ckmlb was implying that with such outrageous hardware requirements, PC gaming is excessively expensive. My point is arguing that a) PC gaming in fact doesn't cost that much, and b) unoptimized console ports of a graphics-intensive PC game would not even run.
