If I'm not mistaken a PC of equal power & tech as a console will run a game worse than the console. Something to do with being a jack of all trades as my (limited) knowledge recalls

 

That depends entirely on how good the people that made the game are. I've seen 2D games with 2D sprites bog down mmy Desktop, it was a game my friend made very quicklike. I've also seen some seriousy good optimization in some games. It's the same thing as it is on consoles.

aside from the obvious 360 cornbread the OP is loving, the one thing that I will say that can be a given, next gen, you will see MS and Sony, Nintendified in their business model. What you will see is:

1.) A GREATER emphasizes on first party titles. Relying on third party exclusives to justify your console to a consumer is OVER. You'll get a few 3rd party exclusives, but MS & Sony both are seeing that a GREAT first party lineup is a difference maker.

2.) If MS & Sony are serious about not starting with profit lose, they will look to make a profit off of the consoles, I wouldn't expect a leap in graphics over this gen.

3.) More game balance. So for those of you that like to classify games as "Casual" or "Hardcore" those lines will be farther blurred...

 

I don't know how M$ will be able to fullfill your first point considering that they lost Bungie and hey just closed Ensemble, their most respected developer.
