I was just thinking now what "bits" are todays current consoles.

Then i started to remember back in *** day when megadrive and snes were both 16bit consoles and then there was 32bit ooooo.

then the N64 came out and was an amazing 64bit console!

Then dreamcast came out and was 128bit console (and awesome at that btw) .

Then the "bit" kinda just disappeared, maybes its cause i dont buy console mags anymore since the dreamcast mags finished. SO what "bit" is the 360, is it 360bits? or is it not even measured in bits anymore.

Just one of those general wonderings about gaming i had.
