If a developer were to create a PC game requiring a 3.0 processor and 1gb of ram, they wouldn't come any where close to a tenth of the market, yet if they scale that down to a 2.0 and 512mb of ram, they're able to gain many more sales, at the expense of quality.

That's true, but every current game out there is designed to be marginally playable by lower computers. They all run beautifully on high settings on the high level computers.
If I had to guess, the reason the 360 and other new consoles are so good is because of the multi core processors. PC's have them, but game developers have never utilized them and designed a game that takes advantage of multiple core processors. If they did, I think PC's would far and away have the greatest processing and graphics power.
