It's not sarcasm... at launch of the 360 the R520 (Fudo) is not released yet and the R500 in the 360 was the best GPU in the market... all the previous gen showed consoles on pair or better than the top PCs in the moment. What the point to have a console like low PC at the launch? The timeline for a console is to be like below... Launch: TOP PC A console at lauch with a power of a LOW PC is terrible for the game industry. |
Your desire is nice in theory but think of the development and hardware cost.
Most developer cannot afford to keep up with the current level of technology let alone when it comes to highend tech.And if hardware is too expensive then sales suffer.
Unless gamers are prepared to pay more for hardware (i.e. $800-$1000) and the games ($80-$100) nothing will change.
Even now, it is too high risk to spend big money on making the game look phenominal. Look at this gen what has happened. Some great developers like Factor 5 and Free Radicals gone because of one failued high priced game.
The other sad fact is gamers seem to think that a game that gets a metacritic score of 90+ is only worth full retail price. Anythign less is considered only a good game and people wait for the game tobe discounted. Anything in the 6-7 range they wait for the bargain bin.
