In Response To: Re: Xbox VS PC (CreedoG) > Dan is exactly right. The New N Game Cube and X-Box will be
Ah, your PC may rule, but that doesn't imply the games will be 'better'. The problem with the PC is that the lowest common denominator is very low. Look at all the games coming out this christmas season ... Most minimum specs ring in at about a PII 233 with 32 MB of RAM and a decent 3d graphics card. Why? Because it is the largest audience. Look at all the cool hardward T&L features that went into the NVIDIA GeForce chips and DX7. Nobody uses them to their fullest advantage because only 5% of the gaming population has one. However, now take the Xbox. Its a fixed hardware configuration. The graphics API's are faster because they only have to support ONE chipset. The audio API's are slimmer because they only have to support ONE chipset, and so on and so forth. So, Developers are going to be able to use every feature offered to them and squeeze out every last bit of performance. So, even though the XBox is thought of as a PC in a box, games will be infinitely better performing.
