wow would you look at that
in the end everyone all comes together

anyway i think that by the time we see the xbox and PS2 max out almost - there will be little difference in graphics beyond textures - which can make a big difference - polys arent making the difference in xbox games now - its textures and bump mapping that make games stand out on xbox graphically
i think that given time PS2 will start to show lots of improvement but it will be slowly while xbox will start to show its power a lot sooner
so i feel that xbox will max out sooner then ps2 - not in the sense it will look bad when it maxs out as thats totally not the case
anyway these are what i am getting from assumptions and knowledge in my head - so take it as opinion and nothing more
