Je hebt vaak van die discussies die gaan over de grafische kwaliteit van games op verschillende platforms. Is dit spel nu mooier op de Xbox of op de PC bijvoorbeeld. Pete Hines kreeg een soort gelijke vraag voorgeschoteld, hij antwoorde hierop het volgende:
Question: “Will the 360 version of Oblivion be equal or superior to the PC version?”
Pete Hines: “That iss a tough question because PC can mean an almost infinite number of things. What video card? Sound card? How much RAM? Are the right drivers installed? The list goes on and on. All these things determine performance on a PC. The advantage of the Xbox 360 is that it is designed to run our game, period. You know if you have a 360 it will look as good as it can possibly look. If you have the latest, greatest PC with the best video card, etc., it will probably look the same as the Xbox 360 version. Anything else will probably lag behind.
When people ask us whether or not to do a major PC upgrade or get the console version of one of our games, we always recommend the console version. Our games tend to push the limits of technology pretty hard, so it is much easier to predict performance on a closed box than one with thousands of possible configurations.”
Conclusie: Een mindere pc wordt in principe duidelijk als minder gezien dan een Xbox 360.
