next gen consoles to increase importance of sm 3/opengl?

[AndrewM]

X-Box 2 should be based on next-generation technology, not SM2 or even SM3 (same with the PS3 core).

I don’t think he was suggesting that it would be SM2.b, merely illustrating that there will be a profile tailored towards ATI’s shader capabilities like SM2.b now.

Ah, yeah sorry for the ambiguity.

Well, it'll be more than that. Since it's a console, there's almost certain to be much lower-level control over shaders than there is in the PC, as there currently is with the X-Box.
