PC is a TERRIBLE example to use.  Are you saying that PC games should be optimized for only the high end systems?  That would eliminate like 80% of the pc gaming market.  Developers are smart to keep their requirements lower on PC's, it doesnt really have anything to do with consoles at all...

Where did I say that? PCs have multiple settings for a reason, I hope you realize. Yes, devs should optimise for the best hardware, and then allow the visual quality to be downgraded BY THE USER if the user is unable to play the highest setting on their PC. 

Basically meaning that the majority of the pc gaming community would have to settle of an unoptimized piece of garbage with all the settings turned down at the expense of the minority.
