This totally makes sense.

Ok. WHY must you have a freaking top-end multi-thousand dollar gaming PC to play the latest and greatest games in FULL hd with settings all the way up with no lag whatsoever...when the xbox 360's specs are like this:

Processor
Processor Type 3.2 GHz Triple Core IBM PowerPC
Memory/Storage
Installed RAM 512 MB GDDR3 SDRAM
Storage Capacity 250 GB Hard Drive
Optical Drive Type DVD-ROM 12x - Tray
Graphics
Graphic Processor ATI Xbox 360 - 256-bit - graphics acceleration
Video Memory 10 MB
Max. Resolution 1920 x 1080
Component Video Support HDMI

SERIOUSLY????? 3.2 Ghz triple-core processor...ONLY 512mb of ram...and a 10mb video card?

It's just better when you are playing on a computer.

It's because the parts they put into those things along with any other gaming console are specifically made just for that, playing games. PC components have to encompass a much wider range of applications. Plus, they don't get real technical with those parts such as bus speeds, etc. That video card may only have a 10 Mb RAM interface, but it could have 1000000000000000 core clocks, you never know. I'm not too technically savvy when it comes to console designs, but I know my first two sentences are pretty much right on the money.

Never thought of it that way. Pretty interesting question. Maybe also running the operating system takes up much more of a PC's resources.

HOLY SNAP IT'S NEMISIS!!!!

Wow he's alive.

lol, this is why i never bought an Xbox, its horid specs, i found this specs when it first came out.
Why some people think its better? Since a mouse can move faster then a controller, you dont really see the FPS loss and since Xbox doesn't have to load windows 7 or anything like that.
oh and BTW, the PS3 only has the Nvidia geforce 8400.
