(re: re: re: re: re: Biggest mistake) I don’t agree with this at all. There are certainly more variations in the PC market but they cannot necessarily be deemed as more buggy than a console. A PC developer writes a piece of source code to operate with an expectation of what’s available on the platform – certain class of gfx card or similar. He then probably wouldn’t test it fully on anything other than his local PC (which is probably the same as everyone else’s in the dev team!). Come to the testing phase, the developer/publisher would try the software on different configurations and it never quite works as expected, so changes would have to be made to suit. Consoles have the luxury of being a static technology platform – that doesn’t mean to say that there are less bugs, just probably/hopefully known in advance!
