Hardware, software and the future of flight combat sims.

To be honest this wasn't really meant to be a discussion on CloD or RoF alone. But hey, this is a forum thread so it goes where it goes. I was surmising whether or not the cost of writing code for games that take full advantage of the possibilities of a modern PC is now becoming more than the return on sales so games developement is reaching a ceiling.

The next generation of games consoles will likely be out end of next year and are thought to be as powerful as a top spec PC today and 8 times as powerful as current consoles so maybe this problem will apply to them too. If indeed you think such a problem exists.
