The problem with this is once users get something sold as a console, they will expect it to act like one. Yet, you still get games on steam which either don't work, or work very poorly, on ATI instead of nvidia cards, or don't like high resolutions, or are unexpectidly jerky on AMD processors for some reason.
Trying to create a "standardised PC" level, and then expecting games to run smoothly on it, seems like a dangerous game to try to play. PC users are willing to cope with having to upgrade their machine because their X is of poor quality. Console owners are absolutely not.
The only solution I can see to this, which is what I imagine valve is doing, is to exactly fix all components.
