It depends if your parents are gamers or not. If they aren't gamers, they won't care. But to the average gamer, they would notice a big difference between Battlefield 3 PC and Xbox 360. I can't stand to play the PS3 version anymore because it's so laggy and horrible looking. It's not optimized for consoles.
sorry i disagree, i think the average gamer can't tell the difference, only core gamers notice the difference and there aren't enough core gamers for nintendo to focus their advertising campain on graphics instead of gameplay for. the few hundred thousand people who pretend to notice the difference are the same people who thought darksiders 2 had wii graphics cos they knew they were watching wii u footage (which they actually weren't). but people who trully trully see the difference between pc and ps3 are few.
