I see, so an extra year only makes a difference when you are talking about graphics technology using comparably aged console technology, but not when talking about sales numbers.

We all expected Unreal Tourney III to have better graphics than Gears of War.

Ok, seriously.....why? Same company. If on 360, its the same system. It hasn't upgraded. The unified shader is the same as it was when GOW came out, so why do we automatically assume it will be better? This isn't a new graphics card in a PC we're talking about, its the same system. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to say that we expected them to be comparable? GoW did push the envelope, so to speak. As an example, God of War II on PS2 didn't have appreciably better graphics than GOWI and it was two years older.
I might think that this was a potshot at 360 if it weren't the same guy that developed Gears of War making the statement.
