Consoles are holding the PC back.
Super high-end PC exclusives do not have a high-enough userbase to sell to in order to be profitable. If consoles were more powerful, then more powerful games would be made cross-platform on both the consoles and the PC, giving us PC gamers higher-end games. The PC can handle these games, but the current generation of consoles cannot, so the games simply aren't being made yet.
Hence, consoles holding back the PC market.

Au contraire, my friend.
I see you've fallen in the same false sentiment of most PC gamer attitudes.
You see, You, like them, have forgotten that the majority of PCs are WALMART'ish grade computers. These computers have to be programed and spec'd for from game developers as they are both needed & necessary to the ecology and economy of PC game development.
Guess what? Those low end PC's and laptops are less capable game machines than the current HD consoles....certainly not more.
You forgot to factor that in....and I reminded you. So, You're welcome.
Low end PC's hold the industry back....not consoles.
just sayin.

Er... actually, I never said that the majority of PC gamers had PCs that were more powerful than consoles. But there are millions who have PCs that are just as powerful as consoles, and millions who have PCs that are more powerful than consoles. I clearly stated that there isn't a large enough userbase of very high-end PCs to warrant many PC-exclusive games that are super high-end. That's why I said consoles need to become more powerful in order to make these powerful games financially viable.
You're a weird little guy.

No,
The reason, if you want to get into it...
is that PC gamers, as a general, don't buy their games....
They steal them.
And then the few that do buy, they only want to buy when the games are discounted and old in Steam sales.
PC gamers hold PC gaming back.
Just sayin # 2.
