I thought only some graphics cards do hidden surface removal... and I don't remember if the NVidia chip in the XBox does it. I remember that when it was put in the PowerVR chip (the PowerVR 2, remember, ran the Dreamcast) it was a new idea... and took quite a while for others to add. I don't know how many do it now... I'd imagine they do, but am not sure... but since Nintendo made it sound like a special feature it makes me less sure for the others... especially PS2...
