If anything, consoles were ahead earlier on and gave PC gaming a foothold to become popular. Yeah, everything is better on PC now (unless the developer is lazy and doesn't take advantage of the system), but most don't developers don't want to take full advantage of that power not because consoles are holding stuff back, but because there isn't a big enough market.

PC has always been ahead of consoles. Always.

Whilst console gamers were just getting used to rudimentary pixel shaders, texture and lighting during the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox era... The PC was starting to experiment with the likes of Tessellation that wouldn't be common until this console cycle.

The PC also had 1080P back in the mid 90's.

4k back in the early 2000's.

That's some slow adoption rate then when you think that in 18 years a whole 1% of PC gamers use that resolution. Heck 1/3rd of them today are using sub "mid 90s" resolutions.

Just points even more to how it is just enthusiasts who have PC's in the "master race" category, most have toasters.

One point regarding that resolution and PC's though, say if a user on steam has multiple PC's with the same account on it, I wonder would it be a survey of each machine or each user and their best hardware, because my account is on my gaming PC but also on a laptop which is just capable of indie games or 3d titles at 720p ish stuff, wonder do I count for 1 user at 1080 and another at 720p because of that, messes with the numbers somewhat when obviously there are many gamers who have their steam account on things like HTPC's for indie games on a TV.
