You know, for the PS2 supposedly being weaker than the XBOX, GT4 is the best looking game I've ever seen. I read that there's something about the way the 2 systems are set-up that means the XBOX is actually weaker. The XBOX is a simplified PC with a powerful graphics card. ALL developers already know how to develop for a PC, therefore, ALL of the games are going to be pumping out maximum power outta the 'BOX from day 1. Now, the PS2 on the other hand was a completely new design(in 2000) so it takes time for developers to learn how to pull the most from the hardware, whereas 3D PC games have been around for about 10 years with the only change being the capabilities of the hardware, not the design. Polyphony themselves even said that "because of our relatively low experience with the EE hardware, GT3 is utilizing only 25% of the console's abilities.".....now that's exciting.
