I'm just going to say one thing. Optimization. Now that I've said it, I'm going to explain it to you; Software optimization is a beautiful thing. Ask Apple, it makes their average hardware appear lightning fast. Sony can't really do it for shit in their software department, I'm going to excluding some of their game developers.

A PC is a multi-task machine that is supposed to run many different applications. Most of the software is not tailored made for one type of PC because everyone has their own set up with different components. Just think of it this way.
Think of all the games that look better on Nvidia cards compared to the AMD cards; then find out if Nvidia worked closely with the game developers to optimize the code for their hardware. I will bet a pretty penny that they did, Its gonna take a few years, and a much more powerful AMD card to run the same FPS and it still won't look as good as how an Nvidia card will perform.
Here is another example: PS2 emulation: It still hard to emulate some of the PS2 games on high end computers even though that is 10+ old tech. There is a community trying to optimize the code for PC so that we don't have a stutters or glitches here or there. but I still can't play a PS2 Saint Seiya game on my PC at 60FPS. ARGGGG!!!
