But the PS3 isn't getting any faster; games that come out next year on the PS3 will also run on this PC.

The graphics of PC gaming are being held back by the current generation of consoles. Even Crysis is now playable on midrange hardware, and with CryEngine being ported to consoles, that won't change soon.

 

New tools are released for the consoles to improve performance, so while the PS3 won't get any faster, developers will be able to use it more efficient. Now this isn't always the case for PC games, where instead developers just increase the requirements. Why would a PC developer spend time and money to squeeze out a couple more fps when they can just change the suggested requirements to a newer better graphic card?

Link to one that has evidence of a measurable improvement in performance.

And there is such software for PCs: graphics driver updates.
