I agree, things are definatley better than they were. I still think we have a ways to go though. With the style of gaming we are doing with consoles (short bursts) the game design that is built around this is evident.
I'm not arguing that games cant be great on both platforms, but I do feel that we do get the short end of things when it comes to developing for consoles. Then again, I'm not a console gamer.
edit : just looked at that link, that is indeed promising.
