What resolution does Red Dead Redemption run at on PC? Oh, right. None. Most of my favorite games never made it to the PC, and a lot of the ones that did didn't survive the transition very well.
And what resolution does Starcraft run at on consoles?
What resolution does Halo run at on ps3?
What resolution does God Of War run at on xbox?
All platforms have exclusives.
On the other hand, the pc versions of (off the top of my head) Batman Arkhams, Sleeping Dogs, Call of Duty, Battlefield 3 and Far Cry 3 are all way better looking than the console counterparts.
Not to mention games like WOW or Planetside 2 which you will never see on consoles.
So yeah, horses for courses.
