But the GPU in the X360 is almost as powerful as a Radeon X1800XT which came out around the same time as the X360 in Nov 2005. It certainly was a high-end GPU back then.

Not that I believe in Disolitude's idea, just saying.

Just going on power consumption, they can't put today's high-end GPUs in consoles. The Xbox 360 consumes 190W, max. A single 5870 would blow that budget away. They couldn't fit two high-end cards in, and there would be no point in fitting two midrange cards due to the scaling.

Yes yes, I know. Today is different. I was just protesting against your high-end statement, since this gen proves that the console makers cleary aimed at high-end. I agree that they probably can't do that the next time around, for reasons you just listed.
