Well we do - they're just confined to PC's at the moment. The thing that bugs me about zbrush is just how quick the pros can use it. Some of those models may have been kicked up within a day which really puts the finger up to the people crying that good graphics cost too much.

Even the best PC games don't even have a 10th of the polycount of the source sculpts. The sculpts are 1+ million polygons (on the low end), and the highest I have seen reported in a PC game is ~100k for a huminoid character.
Anyway I hope I live to see the day where 1 million poly character models are possible in real time gameplay.

You've never heard of tessellation then? Since the GTX400 series, hardware has been able to kick out 1.6 BILLION triangles a second...And the GTX680 is about x2 as powerful as the GTX480 so go figure.

Has over 1 million particles in the demo.

sure but that procedurally generates polygons, sure you probably can't tell the difference and is in many cases far better and much more flexable than just using super complex models. But it is still not the same thing, and we are still many years away from seeing that level of detail in games even with tesselation.
And we all know synthetic numbers like that are meaningless. And the fact that the elemental demo has tech that allows 1 million particles is completely irrelevant to the discussion.
ANd the poly counts in the ellemental demo aren't that impressive
