Poorly optimization of software and hardware specifications that are a moving target. Consoles had already acquired some of the annoying cons of PC gaming previously. The increasingly poor Q&A and need for day one patches being among them. My PS4 is looking more and more like a inferior PC gaming experience with minimal mod access, paid online play, and higher software prices.

It's still only 2 machines which are virtually identical unlike PC which has a limitless number of configurations. How is that even comparable?

And everything has patches these days. How is that a bad thing? Software prices are about the same on both consoles and PC.

You have developers like Bethesda and Ubisoft that can't optimize their code for a single configuration. At least on PC, I can access mods for Bethesda games that make them run better. Software prices are not the same. I can usually get new PC releases for $20 or more cheaper than console counterparts. In some cases even more. I pre-ordered SFV for PC for $34 for example.
