Geordi, you're probably one of those people who believes AMD an NVidia have top secret video cards 10 years ahead of time only the NASA has access to.
Well think again. That type of hardware doers not evenexist. Even if it did, it would costs millions and console manufacturers don't put million dollar chips into consoles, quite the contrary. They put in the cheapest parts and mass manufacture them to cut the costs. The Xenos iscomparable to a X1900 chip, which was the best thing available on the drawing boards at the time the console specs were finalized.
The thing isn't even close to a 8800GTX. The only reason early 360 games looked better than PC games at that timeis because unlike console games, pc games are not (typically) made to take advantage of the latest videocards. Instead they aim for a more common technological standard 2 or 3 years behind current high-end tech.
Thats even arguable, I thought Half-life 2, oblivion, call of duty 2, etc put everything to shame on 360 at its launch year. I never once thought that 360 graphics were better than pc graphics. To match pc games, the 360 always had to make huge comprimizes... for instance lower resolutions, choppy framerates, and generally lower quality. If 360 games really looked and played that great compared to pc games I wouldnt have bothered to stick with pc games. Meanwhile, the ps3 is capable of much better graphics than the 360 and its using a modified 7800, what does that tell you?When you pour 60 million dollars and six years into a game, it better look good. But 360/PS3 multiplats always look better on the 360, and usually by a good margin. The Xenos is definitely better than the RSX. But the CPU was the bottleneck in early ports. It's an in order processor. The game code was designed to run out of order, and devs hadn't worked with in order execution since the original Pentium... Multiplats look better on Pc, Cod4,Fallout 3 Prey,GTA 4, and many more, Even FEAR 2 looks better on Pc and it was console game. look at GuitarFreak2's info posted and what others have said and the proof the 360 isnt better then sliced bread even when it first came out.
