fromo what iv seen of games id say the xbox 360 is more powerful when it comes to games, and the pc would be quicker when doing stuff like video encoding and other pc stuff.
but it depends on how well the software is programmed. on the console its rare to get crap programmed stuff i shudder to think what sort of pc spec would run gears of war at 1080p like the xbox does.
...and here ladies and gentlemen we have a classic case of people who think consoles are
that much better. They aren't really.
Fact of the matter is you're running games slightly higher (or more) than "1080p" on a PC if you have the right monitor. (1920x1080 FYI)
Also if you recall or not, Gear of War is coming out on the PC and will no doubt look better and have higher FPS, for some of us, not all.
I mean heck, bioshock is both on the PC and XBOX360, which has capped FPS and which has not? Which runs at a higher res? which is scaleable more than the other?
And to be quite frank with you, all the top console games people rave about, every time I play them I think,
"They've really hidden some of the uglyness with the over the top bloom/hdr and motion blur"...but that's again, "some games"!.
Sure, you don't have to worry about drivers and compatibility etc.
Lest not forget, the PC world is getting better and better hardware again, and the next console is when? Who knows!
