>I think game companies can optimize for high-end PCs for the same reason that car companies can make high-end models

Will be interesting to see how Battlefield 3 sells compared to Black Ops. CoD has looked good at times but has never blown me away graphically. However it mints money from the general market. Battlefield and the Frostbite engine look several years ahead of the CoD engine. What will the sales look like?

>High-end PC GPUs are ten times better than console GPUs, so why don't PC games look ten times better?

Curious, would love to hear Valves thoughts on this too. Several Source based are critically considered the best of the best, but again the graphics have only looked good at times yet Valve is printing money.
