When will pc graphics start to really outpace console (this gen) graphics?

Absolutely.  Ask Crytek.  They made a big budget follow up to FarCry (IMHO, Crysis was just FarCry with better graphics and a different plot) that was being hyped as the game that would open peoples' eyes to PC gaming again, and all that happened was that people pirated the hell out of it, and it wasn't even really released as a finished product.  I remember seeing endcaps at Best Buy with stacks and stacks of copies of Crysis--nobody really bought it.

It sold over 1.5 million copies in its first 6 months. I'd imagine it's well over 2 million by now, plus all the Steam sales.

Yup, Crysis was a success, much more than Killzone 2. Not only did it sell 1.5 million in just 6 months, they probably also made alot of money from the deals with the hardware manufacturers. Since then, Crysis had another year and half to keep selling, and got released on Steam in late 2008.

I wouldn't be surprised to Crysis reached 3 million sales lifetime.
