It should be fairly obvious that a PS360 cannot outmatch a state of the art PC in pure grunt. Hell, my HTPC can out gun my PS3 in raw power... and yes it was more expensive, I am not trying to start a PC supremacy thread here.

However, rather than realise this fact, I either see fanboys claiming that the PS3 is the pinnacle of graphical acheivement (over PCs) and blasting DICE as a developer OR claiming that DICE mislead them by claiming that the PS360 versions would be identical to the PC version. Now, I don't see how anyone intelligent would think that a modern PC version would be merely identicle to a 5-6 year old console version - at least in terms of resolution and FPS if not graphic assets, and I don't recall DICE claiming that the render paths would be identical for all 3 platforms. Hell, that would be impossible unless the PC version was gimped.

Seriously, what is the deal?

Truth in advertising statement: I have no interest in BF3 at all, so I haven't followed the situation super closely. I just want to understand the hullabaloo.
