Why do we have to upgrade Gaming PCs but not Consoles?

Question

Consoles will run all the present and future games until the next version of console appears.

But even though we can play today's new game titles in best quality, We will sometimes have to upgrade our gaming pc to run new coming gaming titles

Why is this difference?

Answer 1

it's a basic tennant of the difference between consoles and PCs. The console game makers have to make the games that will work for one system. It's somewhat easier for them because they know what your hardware looks like.

The PC game makers have a more difficult task but they get to make games that look better and better. For in two years the PC games will look EVEN BETTER.  While console games look the same. PC game makers use that to their advantage and keep pushing the PC farther and farther that's why you'll have to upgrade.
