Just a history question: When the 360 and ps3 released, were their gpu's current or from previous series?

i wasnt into tec back then as i am now so i didnt really follow that kinda thing.

The 360's Xenos chip was a glorified ATI X1800. It had been out for about a month and a half.

The PS3's Reality Synthesizer was a glorified Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT. Which had been out for about a year before PS3 hit the market.

So they both released with fairly current gpu's, pretty strong ones to in their time. Compare that to the current rumours, which should have the 360 release with a mid range 6000 series card at the end of 2013, at which point we would already have the 8000 series from AMD :/
