Considering how cheaply you can built a decent PC nowadays, its sad that based on that article, so many still flock to the horribly underpowered consoles. You'd think with how many graphics whore threads/posts that are made on all manner of games the net wide, these people would get a PC to fulfill their desires, yet they don't.
And most of the time these same people are complaining how expensive and non-user friendly a PC is. I recall when the PS3 launched, there were hundreds of them being sold for over and close to $1000 dollars on eBay, and a decent PC today that destroys the PS3 would only cost about $600-$700.
Ah well, and as many have already said and thought, the consolization of damn near every great game franchise, especially ones that got started as exclusive PC titles, has become really disappointing! Thankfully there are still a good number of titles and MMOs that are PC exclusive, and most games whether they are designed to be modded or not, are still getting modded and updated by the determined PC community! Or in-the-least get an HD update by the developer sometimes.

When Oblivion launched, sure the Console and the PC version looked the same, but give it a year or so for the modders to do their thing and its a whole new game. Then one day you decide to replay Oblivion, or a friend that had never played the series is now interested, and wants to play it before Skyrim releases.
Would you want to play the game again on console
with NPCs and characters that look like this or a
heavily modified version that looked like this on PC!?
