With some optimisation and pushing more horse power out the 360 you can still achieve quite a bit more, but current exclusive games like Mass Effect and the high profile Halo 3 aren't technically challenged for no apparent reason. The 360 is hitting its bottlenecks, not caused by still immature game engines. Gears of War isn't easily compared to GTA IV, GTA VI povides a huge open world and Gears provides a linear gaming experience. Of course Gears looks good, but it's also a slow moving game and I really had a feeling of being trapped moving around in a glass box environment right from the start on the 360. |
Whilst I have always been doubtful when it comes to usage percentages on ANY console, the way games look and play better over the course of a generation has nothing to do with how much power is used, and everything to do with how that power is used.
It was a Sony dev that said he's using most of the PS3's power, but also that he would find more efficient ways to use it in the future. This highlights how meaningless numbers like the one you just used are.
starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
