This gen and "untapped power" of consoles

I am so tired of people here talking about consoles and untapped power, and only 30% of xbox360 power was used for Gears and 62% for Prologue or whatever, I own both consoles, and if you guys think the graphics are sctraching the surface you are wrong, this is not even a true HD gen, most games run at 640p (Halo,COD4,MGS4,GTA4,etc etc) they lower the resolution so they can make the game look better with AA and bettter FPS.

Basically you are looking at a downgraded 7800GTX and a 1900XTX because of the 128bit interface, I mean lets be serious how much more juice can you squezze out of these GPU's, and the serious shortage of memory doesnt help either, you will see games look better than Gears and Uncharted and GT5, but nothing will come out this Gen that will blow these games out of the water, so please people dont give me that untapped power crap and 30% and 45%, consoles are 2005-06 tech remember.

If you say so, smarty man.

I'm just gonna play and enjoy the games and not care if a game is 640 or 720p as long as they look and play well...

As long as games look and play well why should it matter how much pixels are on the screen?

It's sad what gaming has become.

I never said they dont look good, infact GT5P looks gorgeous, but I am tired of people here throwing these percentages and how the consoles are soo strong, and I do own a high end PC, but I am starting to think PC gaming is waste of money.

Well GoW2 is looking even better than the first, so...KingCotton462

Any physical proof? What'd they do? Give Marcus facial hair?

See the screenshots at least? On consoles, dev's don't have the freedom of just expecting people to upgrade their hardware, so they have to do some work like subtracting plygons from buildings and other unneccesary places to increase the graphics and performance. That's why consoles graphics always get a little better every year they're out.

Checking those GI shots, I don't see any discernable difference between the two games. The new version of that multiplayer map? All they did was change the lighting and modify some of environment's looks.

The lighting became brighter = graphical improvement :D :D
