Your using the PC version is fine in the context of rereading Johns first quote I was thrown off when he later suggested it was an unfair comparison thinking he must have never mentioned the PC version when in fact he was the one who brought it up so it was fair game, I agree with you about comparing software, my argument isn't with comparing versions against one another, hell  it's core to digital foundries existence and helps us with choice, while John opened this particular discourse up  to Metro  PC , I still feel no matter how silly you may think it is, if you are comparing different games in respect to how they may have aged using the same platform if available gives a more even view toward that end, you can cut back somewhat on the wriggle room, then again how much does any of this matter when most people talk of aging are really mostly talking about ascetics and how they view the games appearance so it is truly in the eye of the beholder.

I get what you’re saying, but let’s take a different approach. When thinking back to this gen, I’m going to remember it as a package (like every other gen). 

Also, and in fairness, we compared Horizon to 2017 PC releases (and if the graphics thread was anything to go on, people felt it took the year, even with graphical juggernauts like Battlefront II our in the wild). 

Just another way to gauge it. ;p

My point of difference is a pretty simple one " I believe that  if the games that are being compared  happen to be on the same platform then that should make the  comparison more straight forward ", that isn't advocating that it's the only way to make those comparisons, I feel both of our views aren't mutually exclusive more a case of selection criteria, your view is looking at the versions of a particular game being part of a set where you would use the most capable version to be the example, while my selection would differ from yours in the cases where the games being compared include a game that's platform locked then that platform would be taken into consideration when possible.
