So scince last year on youtube and on many other gaming related forums people argue about "downgrades" and "bad graphics" and in their opinion, they suffer from the "bad consoles".

 

I tried to think about this blame from a neutral/developers viewpoint and i came to the conclusion, it isnt justified. Here are my arguments:

 

1. Pc gaming is relativly unrelevant. More People do play multiplattsform games on consoles. Developer should focus on their biggest market

Um.. PC Gaming revenue has overtaken console..  it did so in 2014.. and its increasing..     Console gaming revenue has been shrinking (although it did see a postive in June)..   so..  this makes your first point and most other points..   well.. incorrect..

Please... get your facts right. Its not as simple as you make it sound. Developers.... the people making the games we play..... will tell you any and everyday that they make more money from the console dales of their game. And this is assuming that somehow you choose to ignore that every mutiplat game sells more on consoles than they do on PC. 

And as far as "revenue" goes.... you do realize that the sale of a single GPU even at $2000 is counted in its entirety towards "revenue" right? What good is that for a developer?

His point is entirely accurate. Consoles are a developers biggest market. Don't believe that, just look at any NPD top ten software sales.
