Come back when you can show a PC game that looks better than Uncharted 2.
At this point PC is not even half a generation ahead of HD consoles. And after all it shouldn't, since this console gen is only 4 years old (PS3) - or 5 if you wanna count X360's very premature headstart - and it launched with the strongest and priciest hardware ever.
Usually a console gen is 6 years, so we won't even see PC hardware on that level until Fall 2011 at the earliest - and when speaking actual PC games we don't even have a powerful next-gen game engine publically shown yet (CryEngine 3 is current gen).

Your post makes me want to punch babies.
Actually, I always want to punch babies (loud and smelly little bastards, they are), but your post made me want to do it more.
Even when a new generation has started, consumer PC hardware is already years ahead of it. Maybe your EeePC isn't, but it wouldn't cost more than $1000 to build a PC that's more powerful than the next generation of console hardware will be. This isn't a remotely controversial issue; everyone who knows what they're talking about, whether PC gamers or console gamers (like me) agrees that PCs are more powerful and that the best PC games have far better graphics than the best console games. How many console games can you play in resolutions higher than 1920x1080? And how many can be made to look even better with all the neat tricks PC games can pull? I can't work out how anyone could seriously doubt this.
PCs have better hardware and the most graphically capable PC games have more detailed graphics. There's no argument about that. The only argument (and the only thing that matters) is which has the games that are the most fun to play.

A PC with 580GTX in SLI doesn't represent this generation though.
The absolute top of the line PC hardware never represents a PC generation since games are designed for much weaker PC hardware with Crysis as the only exception.
And why do you even mention resolution? 1920x1080 means almost nothing. None of my PC games in 1920x1200 (which is my PC monitor res) looks as good as Uncharted 2 (which I think is running at 1280x720 or something). Uncharted 2 has more polys and sharper textures than any PC game xcept for maybe Crysis (debatable).
Also, X360 in Nov 2005 has a GPU equivalent of a 7800 GTX who came out only a couple of months before it (in July/August 2005). You can be sure that the X720 will have a stronger GPU than the AMD Radeon 6990 (<----which isn't even out yet).

No it won't or do you mind that it eats 400W of power? Not to mention heat problems. Remember RROD? Sony and especially MS had huge problems with heat even during this gen. PS4/X720 will probably use something like with power of GTX 460. Two years from now and with die shrinks it will be profitable and without massive heat problems. It's still massive leap from this gen.
