Well visual quality is obviously subjective but I'll just say that I've played plenty of games on the PC that don't measure to Infamous in that department. I find most consoles to be fine graphically except the Wii, it's usually a case of limited video memory that causes problems. As ram prices have decreased to ridiculously low levels and even moreso for volume customers, I don't think it'll be as much of a problem next generation. If you asked me what I thought of consoles in the PS2/Xbox/Dreamcast days I would not have nice things to say

Oh I agree the gap is a lot lower now... that's one of the reasons console gaming is dominating more and more. I don't think the gap will ever close though.

At first I thought this generation would be different from before at the end, when PC gaming usually leaps ahead of console gaming. I thought this time games would look mostly the same on both platforms for the entire generation. With Left 4 Dead and Mirror's Edge though, I changed my mind... those games were fundementally better on PC in many ways. With Dragon Age and Rage and others coming, I think the gap will widen. Which isn't to say it will be AS wide as before, even in the last year of the 360, but it will be significant. I was teetering on the brink of "going console" for good myself, until I played the Xbox 360 Left 4 Dead demo, then the PC version... vastly superior on PC.

But in essence I agree the differences this generation are smaller.

As for Infamous, the design and animation was great, I just found the complete lack of AA and AF, and the poor draw distance and blurry overuse of depth of field, to be distracting and rather ugly. On a fundemental level it did look great, but as a life-long PC gamer I have trouble dealing with such things I guess.
