stay on the edge

Why do you want the ps3 version anyway? If only for supreme graphics pc game will always stay on the edge.

Can I use "stay on the edge" this way? What I try to say here is PC games will always have the cutting-edge graphics. When thought about this it just came right off my head, I don't know why maybe I've heard someone use it this way before.

Besides, what meaning do you usually use this phrase for? (If this is a phrase, I can't find it in a dictionary. and feel free to check my grammar )

Thanks.
