They can't just update specs as better hardware releases...
The GPU in the 360 is essentially a X1900/X1950 XT, which is around a 7800/7900GTX by Nvidia's standards around that time. The release of the 360 was winter of '05, and the current top card at that point was the 7800GTX, which puts the 360's graphical power slightly above what consumers could get with a single card solution at that time.
GPU specs.
Onto the CPU. The 360 has a 3.2 GHz PowerPC Tri-Core processor.
Here are the in-depth specifications on this unit. During the winter of 2005, PC consumers didn't even have options above dual-core, and even the frequencies weren't comparable.
So, as you can clearly see, in terms of hardware the 360 was superior to the PC counterpart at the time of release... AKA, very much so true. Perhaps you should do your research before spouting out misinforming hearsay.
