Look at PS2. It kept giving out better looking games for each year for the cycle. When was Shadow of the Colossus, FF12 and God of War 2 out ?
When developers say they`ve maxed out the console, it`s because they couldn`t get more out of their game at that time. But next year they might make some tweaks with their engine and they get a better result. When a console get`s around 5 years, it`s starting to show it`s age better. So, 360 still have some years left.
I think PS3 could have more potential graphically, based on what most developers say and what i`ve seen so far, but i don`t think we`ve seen the best looking 360 game yet.
As for Cliffy B, i think he`s all maxed out a long time ago ;)
