Well there's subjective "pretty", that's definitely open for interpretations. I think the color palate that is used for the newest generation of games leads to more visually appealing games... and since all the newer generation of games are built to run on the XBox (usually first... with a later PC port) I agree that the xbox has some pretty games.

The problem I've got is the blocky, old looking models they use, the tiny texture size, the limited dynamic effects. My tolerance for endlessly repetitive textures and blocky graphics goes down every time I play a round of Halflife 2 or Far Cry. While the colors change, the XBox games can't hide the fact that they're limited to old hardware. I want to see RPG's that use dx9c and all it's bells and whistles, ones that give the new generation of graphics cards a workout. I think it won't be until XBox2 comes out that we'll see that happening, the market for console is just too big for developers to make pc only games (I definitely don't blame them).
