Compare Riddick on the PC to Riddick on the Xbox - no comparison.

...and I DON'T agree that Riddick on the Xbox is in any way shape or form close to Doom III in graphics excellence.

In fact, Doom III is widely touted as the game that "exposes the xbox".

The NV20 used by the Xbox is a GeForce 3 part - that's three generations behind current PC technology. It only has a 250mhz GPU and a 350mhz RAMDAC.

The XBox has the graphics capability of a Geforce 3 (somewhere between the origonal 3 and the TI500).

The Geforce 3 family is what... 3 generations old?

It's ANTIQUE.

The XBox 2 will be competitive with PC's (the specs I've seen on that box look pretty darn good), but even that system will be slower on the day it's released than the top PC cards... primarily because the top PC graphics cards alone cost more than the entire console.

There is no contest between a top PC gaming system and any console... and there shouldn't be, a top gaming PC costs an order of magnitued more than a console.
