Venturing off-topic, but...

game developers need to hire labs to test on the 150 most popular 3D cards

With this in mind, I find it odd that console games cost exactly the same as the PC version. Surely they can pass some of that savings (from only having to test on one machine) on to me? :P

You have to add the costs of licensing. Anyone can publish a game for PC, but you have to pay Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo to release a game for their console.

They do: you don't need to pay to upgrade your hardware every year ;-)
