Game Console games get beta tested properly before they are released because they know there is no way to patch a game after it's released.
As for computer games it seems more and more every day that companies release buggy games for the PC because they think they got a bunch of idiots to pay $50 to beta test their software for them. In return we complain to them about how screwed up the game is and 12 patches later the game works like it should have in the first place.

Often "not allway" its not about the code it is the harware porblems that cause the bugs. There is no way in the world that a company can test out all the diferent combination of harware that exist.

The developers try as hard as they can to get the game to be as bug free as passible.

But then u have consoles that have the same harware and then it is easy to code to.
