Xbox 360 Graphics

I've got more than a passing interest in 3D modeling and graphics rendering so the hullabalu surrounding some screenshots of a forthcoming Xbox 360 game title piqued my interest.

To say that these are jaw dropping would be to put it mildly. To see such graphics running within a game in realtime and not pre-rendered is simply stunning. I'm not a gamer, but the resulting applications possible from such power has got my mind spinning. I seem to remember that Sony's newly announced console has even more raw processing power than the Xbox. There's a huge market waiting for a software developer that can create and release a suite of tools to streamline the production of the models and environments required, not for games per se but a multitude of digital media sectors.
