Meh.
Console processors are terrible. Sorry but both Microsoft AND Sony both messed up with the processors. First, the IBM Power PC will deliver 1/3rd the performance of a Pentium 4 for the same clockspeed. That means the Xbox is as fast as a 3.2ghz Pentium 4, however, it has three cores. So it's like a tri-core 1.06ghz Pentium D.
Now, how many games are perfectly coded for three cores? One, or None?
RAM anyone? Games like Crysis need more than 512mb of RAM. Hell, Quake 4 uses 512mb of VRAM just for textures!
Video cards are pretty fast. Though, I still have no idea why they didn't implement D3D10 features. (Renember that Unified shaders is NOT Direct X 10).
At the end of your day, you get what you pay for.
