[QUOTE="TiberiusKane"]Consoles are set platforms released 1 or 2 years ago with hardware that was in many cases at least 6 months old at release. There is no possible way they could compete with recently released hardware a generation (video card generation e.g. PS3 GPU similar to 7800, Crysis needs a 8800 and even then doesn't run perfect) later from the same companies that made the GPUs for these consoles. Considering this, should have anyone expected consoles to have graphics on the same level of Crysis?
However people who bought a console can expect to be able to play any game released for their console the way the developer intended and more often then not that will mean a decent frame rate and a good level of graphics when the cost and level of hardware is considered.

360 was pretty up to date with most pcs at the time of release, heck even a little better
The software was but the hardware wasn't. PC developers for the most part (I'm look at you Crytek) try to cater for the lowest common denominator. You can make engines scaleable but there are limits and because of this PC software often lags about 6 months to a year behind the hardware. When the 360 was released you could buy a PC more powerful than the 360 but it wasn't until later you could buy games that would really use that extra power.
