...Heck, if any update on consoles broke the game from playing on the systems, Sony or Microsoft would have a conniption fit on the company that did the update because the bad press will piss them off...
I am all in favor of elitists being put down a notch, but if you honestly believe Sony or Microsoft are going to care or pressure a publisher/developer to support and go through certification for a new patch for a game years after release, you are in for a surprise.
You might as well ask for all Xbox 360 games to work on XBox One emulation...
I am Setsuna isn't even a year old.
And, again, I am not making excuses for them.
I am only pointing out that, if this is his reasoning for console games being inherently better: because Sony and Microsoft would put pressure in a developer to fix something that affects a percentage of the people that play a relatively old and obscure game, he is deceiving himself.
The only exception would be if the update makes the game unable to launch for 100% of the users, in which case the certification process should ensure the patch is not released. But other than that, even if it is relatively widespread, console games outside medium to big budgets get very little support after release (less than on PC, since the publisher has to pay thousands of dollars to certify each patch).
