You mentioned Crysis 2...

The Xbox 360 version of Crysis 2 sold 237,989 copies in North America and 366,816 units worldwide, according to VGchartz.com. The PlayStation 3 version of the game came in second, selling 120,853 copies in North America and 228,079 units globally. The PC version, which was the format the franchise originated on, came in a distant third with sales of 46,057 in North America and 103,373 units worldwide.

There's no point in creating a game that runs on the highest end systems when most people are perfectly content to play them on a console. As evidenced by Crysis 2 sales, people seem fine not playing it "at 100%."

And PS3 dying next year...I have no idea where you're getting that from. I guess someone better tell S-E, Konami, Bethesda and Naughty Dog to pack it in. No use developing for a dead console.
that's why this stupid cycle never end as long as they can sell it
