Do you think the PS3 peaked in graphics?

Now, if you're happy with that kind of image quality and think it's the "best" then you are sorely missing out. (When compared to a good PC)

As another example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3P9Y-at_JI

If you look at the fences, the crates etc' in the opening sequence, there is a significant amount of aliasing, it looks horrible.
The shadows are no where near as defined as those in the pictures (They are blurry and have artifacts.)
Then if you look at the textures on some characters and objects and even parts of the ground it's low resolution and blurry.

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but look at the title of this thread. Now why is it you are arguing a case that console graphics are not better than non-console graphics? Of course they aren't, unless a console had the exact top of the pile it would only be at par until something new came out in about a year. Consoles provide consumers with cheaper entry access to gaming rigs. They give game developers a stable platform to develop on with measurable expectations due to uniformity in the hardware. It also provides consumers the ability to partake without having to research computer tech just to provide themselves with a machine that they know can operate games for an extended period of time.
