I cut'n pasted a line:

"I can't imagine that big engines would not render in batches or that they would waste bandwidth/fillrate. Simply because the consoles have much worse GPUs than todays highend in PCs. I don't claim that everyone has everything optimized to the max. You can't afford to be inefficient on consoles."

So in the same sentence you start with 'i can't imagine', then you jump to console hardware and some of that console hardware is up to a factor 1000 slower...

Yet some of them run some of the most popular games that work both on windows as well as on consoles.

Please retry that sentence.

How would you like it as a gaming company that a windows product which is easy to illegal copy, is 100x better than a 100x slower console? (where copying also is possible yet a lot tougher and practical it happens less)


There's nothing wrong with that.
What I meant is that for many it's a must to support consoles, if they want to survive. Simply because of the reasons you just wrote.
And since consoles are much slower, how fast you think would run an "inefficient engine" on a console? A bunch of "O(N^2)" here and there and you'd have a slideshow instead of a game.
