They also haven't yet created adequate emulation coding for the PS2. Gawd, if PCs were lagging behind PS2's in terms of technology in this day and age then we'd be so far behind the current console market people just wouldn't make PC games.
I didn't mean that PCs didn't match the processing power of the PS2. That'd be stupid. Emulation code takes much more processing power, though. So yes, the emulation code hasn't become streamlined enough, you could say. But it's more like our machines aren't powerful enough to run the emulation code in its current state :P
