Not everyone can afford to upgrade their PC every year, or even every ten years. Making this game bleeding edge was one of the critical mistakes they made with the 1.0 release. They're certainly going to play it a lot more conservatively from this point on.

PS3 released in 2006 with 512 megs of RAM. Modern $200 phones come with 2 gigs. The PS3 is weaker than a modern high end phone, nevermind a PC of any sorts that came out in the last 7-8 years.
