The architectures of modern consoles and PC's means just that. The difference in power exceeds the difference optimization would give. If you can optimize a game for a Jaguar-based cpu, then it is very likely the game will run, even when less optimized,  on an FX 6300. If you can optimize the game to run on a stripped HD 7870 then it will certainly run on an r9 380. We aren't in the age of complicated and specialized PPC cores in which the developers don't know what they are working on too well. They know pretty much what the consoles are made of and they know the limitations. This is why we have already reached a performance barrier, even for talented developers. Furthermore, current API's have allowed PC games to be quite optimized as well. 

That's why the latest CoD and the latest Batman, two of the biggest releases this year, are running worse on PC? Beta CoD BOP 3 had the same issues found in the final PC release, Come on, it's well known at this point that lots of developers just don't put a lot of effort when they port their games. Not the PC fault but it's a problem I may have to run into every now and then. The possibility alone irks me, especially that it happened already with titles that aren't cross-gen.

Batman was ported by something like a 4 man team who never developed on PC before. BO3 doesnt run bad on everyones set up and will be fixed with a patch. But lets act like them 2 examples are all 3rd party AAA games and that BO3 also doesnt have a number of problems on console hey?. Or how is Fallout 4 doing for you guys? the Witcher 3 on its release? ACUnity?? all them games working out ok for you console guys?. Point is using a few bad apples doesnt = everyone..

Console guys...

Dude just stop pitting the two against each other, as I've said already. No rivalry between the two outside of gaming forums.

You are not breaking any news, PC gaming got cheap long ago. As I've already said, semi decent laptops from 2013 with Haswell integrated graphics cards enable access to a large libarary of quality games.

And please, when did gamers on forums care about how much they spend? Gaming is considered an expensive hobby, dismissing anyone trying to tell you that the build in the OP can be more expensive if you add other essential things to it isn't gonna convince anyone out of getting it.

We are not ignorant of how cheaper PC gaming got, people will continue buying either this or that regardless of the list of reasons you and I provide. In ways, consoles will always be superior to PCs and the opposite is true.
