Well, it's quite old hardware now too, I'm sure that has a big effect.

Consoles generally have older hardware. The attraction is convenience, not power.

Well in relative terms that hardly matters for consoles due to obvious reasons.

Developers of AAA games for PC can only (or are willing to) do so much to make it run acceptably on what’s a very underpowered PC compared to their target market.

What was the context here? Was there any reason (even if remote) for that response?
