>>111156471The biggest thing that isn't said about consoles is that with a console the devs know exactly what the hardware is. And with that knowledge they can get in so close to the hardware and optimized so tightly that even though the hardware is outdated they can get far, far more out of it than they can on the PC where any given PC user could have one of several dozen video cards, completely different RAM setups, processors, etc. etc.
They are outdated, and they are slipping fast, but there is something to be said about having consoles.
