Consoles end up feeling older and outdated as well (and games even show lag at times on consoles), just it's harder to notice when they abstract away all the graphical choices and settings from the end user (as well as generally sitting farther from the screen). It's very telling when you play a bad console port on PC and see how low quality some of the textures and draw distance are compared to games made for PC or better quality ports. Even games such as Mass Effect 3 had all sorts of low resolution textures thrown in the PC version that were glaringly obvious when playing. PCs, you become aware of all that and how outdated things are when you realize your cannot run max settings for whatever game you're playing anymore. I guess it's sort of the "content with what you cannot change (consoles) versus discontent in realizing you no longer have the 'best' of something anymore (PC)". In short, it's much easier to see flaws on PC overall because you realize you can do something about them (given the time to reconfigure game/pc settings or upgrade), while consoles you cannot.
