Here's the flaw. You actually believe that there's some "it's a Nintendo system and that creates a boost in performance" thing going on, and that the extra specs will somehow directly translate to the exact same disparity. There's no reason to think that's the case. You are making connections where none exist. The XBox 360 has totally different architecture, and since the Gamecube games looking as good as they do are in spite of the lack of power, not BECAUSE of it, it's silly to think that it being even LESS powerful is going to mean it'll have even better looking games.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
