Well like i said before if gaming was a PC only market then tech would be pushed far faster than it is now. We would have games that fully utilize ultrahigh end PC's, games that total scale would out do anything currently out. Would be epic stuff. Instead were stuck with 6 year old technology thats completely stagnated were the only way to move forward is to optimized or to cut features/portions.
Sadly, I agree.
While consoles have been the catalyst for gaming as we know it (making it ridiculously mainstream), they are also completely holding gaming back. I just hope that someday they figure out how to make consoles upgradeable, so developers aren't stuck with old technology.
