And the magazines expect Sony to produce a PC card for the same price as
the console unit,at the developers expense maybe

Getting back to the other thing one of the reasons console platformers will
look better(ie smoother) than PC ones is because of the slower vertical
refresh, giving more time before each vblank. And don't forget that the
consoles usually use character mapped displays, so its a lot easier to 
update a 1K screen(SNES) than a 64K screen. So until there's a PC with VRAM
wired onto the CPU bus with a 50/60Hz display, I'll stick to the SNES for
my platformers.
