Bad code is bad code. Games getting more complex make it likely to end up having bad code written. What you have with the PC is an unstable platform, with a ton of stuff happening that doesn't know what else is happening, that results in code being less likely to work right, or load at all. Different brand of video cards, different software and the like make it more likely to happen by a far margin.
At least one can say they are pretty much guaranteed a game will load when you run it on a console you have. This is not true about the PC, and the are far less ways to protect yourself with a PC software purchases. Only thing is try a demo and see if it works. Well, I did that with Galactrix and ran into this issue.
