(I realize this is just what you read, I'm not doubting that.)
Crysis 2 is a bad example: it was developed on the 360, and then ported to the PS3. PC fanboys (rightfully) went a bit crazy, as Crysis was the PC game. I mean, if Crytek were to put Crysis 1 on a disc today as it existed on PC, the 360 may not be able to handle it. It was that demanding of a game.

A better example will be Battlefield 3, which is being developed independently for PC and console. It's really not even a close comparison anymore. My 1200 dollar gaming rig will be able to run it at the highest settings, but probably won't get better than 60FPS. The 360 will end up being PC "fast" settings, sacrificing a lot of quality for performance.
