CryENGINE 2 "almost as good on 360 as PC"

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/865/865010p1.html

Team Crytek' gorgeous and uber resource intensive CryENGINE 2 (which
is the engine that powers the visually stunning Crysis on the PC) is
slowly making its way to consoles. But how well will the engine run on
console hardware that equates to half of what Crysis demands?
According to Crytek, surprisingly well.

In an interview with IGN about CryENGINE 2 and its performance on next-
gen consoles, Crytek business manager Harald Seeley says that they
"tailor the engine specifically to each platform" and that they
"expect the final outcome will result in games that look like they're
running at high settings, or nearly high settings, on a PC." An
amazing engineering feat if they can pull it off. So far, Crytek has
yet to make their engine available to console developers as it's still
under development, but if the console tech demo video (embedded above)
tells us anything, it's that CryENGINE 2 reeks of promise. Just look
at those colorful teapots roll!

I just read this interview and was about to post about how Xbox 360
fanboys were going on about only an Xbox version about a month ago and
now the interview specifically mentions that the engine is being
shopped around to both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 developers.

It's interesting that you claim the article only mentions the Xbox 360
and the PC when there are as many references to the Playstation 3 as
there are to the Xbox 360. In fact, anytime it mentions the Xbox 360,
it also mentions the Playstation 3.
