OK, well I'd disagree then. I honestly can't think of any AA or AAA games that I've played in the last four or five years that were better to buy on console instead of PC? In pretty much every case the PC had better performance, graphics etc. and was generally cheaper, too.I don't know what we're arguing either. I think my point is - I'm not actually sure - that for a significant amount of games, the PC version isn't necessarily a notably superior experience, and that consoles being the main market for games does hold back PC gaming to an extent. PC games might not be poor ports of console games but often they're an afterthought. Just look at every single game that ties physics to framerate - hello, Bethesda - which can cause extremely funky results when you're playing at 144 fps. Which also means that PC gaming's higher costs may or may not be worth it for any particular player, depending on the kind of games they're into.
A driving game might not be the greatest example actually, depending on the kind. For a hardcore, realistic simulator I'd say get it on PC and use a proper steering wheel with pedals and shit, and crank that framerate up for maximum smoothness and visual information.
That may shift temporarily due to the release of next-gen consoles but it'll probably revert back again in a few years.
EDIT Actually one example was Horizon which got a shitty port and Guerrila got absolutely slaughtered for it to the point where they are still patching it months and months after the release to try keep people happy!
