PC die hards will still rightly claim "but it still looks better on PC!!!"
Of course anyone can buy a $199 Xbox and play the same game whereas most PCs still won't be able to.
The reality is, most PCs being sold these days use integrated video (Intel being the most common) which any gamer will tell you is completely inadequate for any level of 3D gaming with modern games. There's no debating this really. All those bargain laptops and desktops would require a discrete video upgrade (laptop users would be hosed), and naturally the more expensive the more impressive the visuals.
But that's always been one of the bigger virtues of consoles; the prices on the hardware keep dropping as the generation goes deeper, and developers continue to realize better and stronger efforts as they constantly push the hardware boundaries through experience and code optimization.
