I have to disagree with blaming consoles for the fact that most PC games don't use cutting edge graphics.
Fact is that despite what the author is trying to say, not every PC gamer has a cutting edge machine.
Lets not kid ourselves, the most successfull PC developer is Blizzard, last I checked they didn't release their games on consoles so that's not what is holding them back and despite that their games don't go full out using every last bit of power on your machine.
The reason is simple, they know that to have broad appeal you can't target the high end PC only...
