I play said Battlefield game on both PC and PS3. On PC I have all settings on low in addition to v-sync, triple buffering and framerate limited to 58. I still get massive problems. I'm assuming the weak link in my hardware is the dual core cpu. That said I still find the in-game frame rate changes ridiculous. On PS3, very little slowdown even though less than 30 fps, and no tearing that I've noticed. It runs so much better. 

PC game sales don't add up to what current gen sales manage. 

Do you actually have accurate data to back that up?

If you do then it'd be great because actual PC game sales data are notoriously difficult to find. This is especially true when over half the sales are from digital downloads that most large digital distributors don't disclose to the public.

No, purely an estimate based mostly on sales tracked on this website. If you look at this week's game sales for instance, you'll see it's dominated by current gen consoles. I would also say, if anything, saying over half of PC game sales are from downloads is on the generous side. Boxed PC games are always a good deal cheaper than their console equivalents. All the PC games I've seen I've been able to get cheaper through mail order than say online via Steam or Origin. Further, there's more piracy where PC gaming is concerned, which is going to hurt PC retail sales more than it does the console game divisions.
