In 1999 my PC already destroyed the PS2 with a 16MB VooDoo3 3000, and a 500 MHz P3, along with *loads* more memory.  By 2001, before the XBox's release, people had 1 GHz P3s, with Geforce 2 GTX's (which were *faster* than the modified GeForce3 in the XBox, despite lacking pixel shading).  PCs have always, always, been ahead of consoles -- right from the day of release, and usually well before.

By nature of capitalism, and the fact that consoles are not sold for profit (games are), and are made to sell cheaply (relatively), consoles are naturally inferior hardware from day 1 of their release.  Its only the revolutionary Xenos (X360) and Cell (PS3) (both of which cost those companies billions to produce and research) that even allow consoles to be considered close to modern PCs of any calibur.

With the kind of horsepower required to run Crysis at decent framerates and those resolutions, I'm sure Naughty Dog, Guerilla, Epic, etc.'s engines would be absolutely stunning.
