Do you mean display resolution or texture size? Display resolution is at this point almost entirely useless. With anti-aliasing and anostropic filtering + advanced shaders and all that, you can play a game at 1200x960 and it'll look identical to 1600x1200. Besides that, art design and technology are a lot more important to a good looking game than numbers.
This is the truth
pc gamers are different, they have more of a sense of entitlement
but seriously, no PC will ever be better than a super nintendo
PC gamers just seem to have a different outlook on how a game should be. I think people that prefer PC versions, are those that want to maximize their experience. A mouse and keyboard offers more for the interface meaning you get more advanced options and customization, things don't need to be dumbed down for a controller. Mouse also has MUCH GREATER precision in anything that requires aiming.
Plus you have your modders like me, that can't help but try to make the game more exciting or look better or just make it crazy. Of course PC games also look a lot better side-by-side. To me a PC version is a more complete game that does not bar you to a simple controller or set of parameters.
I still love me some old school consoles though... Many of my best memories of games are from NES, SNES Genesis, Playstation and N64. After that PC/console games started to run into eachother and buying a console was pointless. Back in the day console games were a 100% different type of game than PC games. You'd never find a Donkey Kong Country on PC, and you'd never find Duke Nukem 3D on Snes (although it got ported to N64 much later)
