Xbox(v1) compared to Xbox 360

I was recently able to make a small-scale comparison of Xbox(v1) graphics vs. Xbox 360 graphics. I placed a Forza Motorsport screenshot from the current Xbox console right beside a screenshot of the upcoming NFS: Most Wanted on the 360, and to me at least, there wasn't significant difference. Tell me what you think.

The only real problem is that the 360 isn't even finished and all tech Demos for the console were not even running on it.

That's right. The screenshots are not from the console, they're coming from PowerMac G5 machines.

It seems like with how many releases of pictures they are making, the actual graphics of the 360 couldnt be drastically different from the releases. Or maybe my thinking is clouded...

Now if only the games would take advantage of the raw power that is the G5 processor in current Macs.

Sometimes I wonder where the brains of all these gaming companies are. I guess that's what happens when you become assimilated...
