When I heard that, I instantly remembered something I had read about Eternal Darkness when I did a review for the game back at Nintendose. The main characters are comprised of over 5500 polygons. I'm kind of confused why Rare would even bother releasing that number for their next generation game, as it really makes them look kind of stupid. I mean, at 300,000 polygons on screen at once drawn at 30 frames/second that's only 9 million polygons per second. That's low end current generation. I double checked and it turns out I was right. Sources for the character model polygon count.
