What is with the hostility of PC gamers towards console gamers?

6. There is also the reality that the console versions of the same games usually sell better.

 

here is the hole in that, console games need to sell way more to make the same revenue for publishers so while they can make more than PC they have to sell way more than the PC version to accomplish this.

This is why most HD console games are multiplat now.

Outside of licensing fees, why MUST a console version of a game sell more  than a PC version of the same title?  I remember reading how game designers make at least 4 times the revenue releasing a game on a console then the do on the PC.  A large part of it has to do with piracy.

 

Higher replication costs, more advertising, and the like. PC games or at least the PC versions of a game typically never see a single advertisement.

Also piracy isnt as bad as publishers whine about. Look at The Witcher for example. Zero DRM or any real anti-piracy measures. Sold over a million. Valve games always sell better on PC, they have DRM but Valve adds value to it making it so that there is no reason to pirate a game. EA might complain but realistically Spore was the highest selling PC game for nearly a month worldwide pulling over a million sales.
