Technologically I find it far more interesting on what the "old" xbox360 hardware is able to achieve with optimized games. My point beeing, the xbox got what, released in 2005? And still, with basically the same specs, it renders well-enough results with current games.
Now, of course, you can't beat a pc with a xbox360, but thats not my point. I just find it interesting to see how much optimization for a specific platform helps in actually achieving decend framerates with effect that would usually take a better one. Actually, the end of a consoles lifecycle is one of the most interesting points, as you can be surprised in what the console is still able to achieve.
