Bioshock PS3 developers to concetrate on matching the 360's visuals

There will never be more than a marginal difference in graphical capabilities between the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Clearly true, but there will always be fanboys who believe in company marketing speak, especially that of Sony who originally promised the PS3 to be very powerful and then castrated it significantly before releasing.

The other issue is that niether the 360 nor the PS3 have any remotely graphically impressive games as they're both literally years behind the PC market at this point. Many of their games aren't even in HD (for example, GTA 4 on the PS3). Many of the games aren't playable due to framerate issues (Skate on the PS3), etc.

People who are excited about the graphics on either system strike me as relatively silly -- the systems aren't high end and haven't been since 2005/2006.

Unfortunately, that is both true and will fall on deaf ears.  I expected a religious experience when I played the first Gears on the 360 as I had been reading about how great HD gaming was.  While it was great (compared to the previous generation) it paled in comparison to what better graphics cards on PCs can do.  MGSIV is the same for me.  I'd heard how stunning the graphics were and was anticipating another "WOW" moment that just didn't deliver.  Again, the graphics are stellar when comparing to previous gen games, but when comparing to solid video cards, the PS3 and 360 are, well, not so impressive.   That said, I don't have a high end gaming PC so I just have to live with what I have in the PS3 and 360 and they are delivering pretty damn solid gaming experiences.
