High def graphics vers a computer?

Why is it that the best computer alienwares, can't produce the graphics the xbox 360 can? I have both and I put the best graphics card I could into it and the xbox 360 still blows it out of the water. Shouldn't it be that the xbox 360 should have trouble keeping up with my computer? not the other way around? if you look at the gears of war game graphics and then the elder scrolls oblivion on computer you will notice the graphics look way different. why is this?

Comparing screenshots, Oblivion has higher resolution textures and better anti aliasing than GoW.



But you're also comparing two separate games...

Game consoles were made for nothing but video games. So, consoles run games really fast, but wouldn't be able to run anything else very well. For example, Linux runs on a PS3 at about the same speed as it would on a 500 MHz computer processor.

In terms of programming, PC programmers need to code a game in such a way that it will be playable across a wide array of computer specs. This is, of course, from a business point of of view. If the game was only playable with the very best of the current/future hardware money can buy, then the developers along with their publishers will loose out on a lot of money because PC gamers with insanely high specs only account for a small percentage of the total PC gamer population.With a console, programming has been simplified. Console programmers know that anoyone with the same console will, in theory, perform exactly the same. WIth Windows Vista just around the corner, Direct X 10 will be the successor of our current generation Direct X9 cards. Just as the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and the Wii are dubbed as "next generation consoles" Direct X 10 will be our next generation platform in which PC games will be made for.
