Factor 5 is a pretty good developer, but I don't see any reason you could not make a very similar looking game on the XBox 360 ... I suspect that Lair looks so good for the same reason that people said the Rogue Squadren games looked like the movies; Factor 5 uses a lot of tricks, and makes game-play limiting assumptions. The fact is that you can cut the number of polygons in a game by half, reduce the texture size in half, and cut the complexity of shaders by half and a game will (pretty much) look the same now a days. We're no longer dealing with the N64/Playstation days, comments like "this is only possible on the PS3" are a sales gimick to get fanboys to buy their game regardless of quality.
