Consoles are holding this game back (graphically)

i agree with everything with most of this, but not the inventory space. i recall being told inventory was a server thing, being that all out stuff is saved on their server. being that its a server thing i don't see the PS3 holding it back

The inventory - the live intventory on the character gets synced to server every 15s or so. That's a lot of traffic. But problem is that people don't differentiate between live inventory and retainer inventory - they are two separate things and handled differently.
