All I care for are good textures, and it seems Gears of War 2 has the upper hand here. Honestly, the two consoles are pretty identical in terms of graphical capability. It only depends on the developers: better this, lower that, or lower this, better that?

*EDIT: For a comparison, look at these screenshots:

Gears of War 2 (notice the floor, the small cube things on the left and right and the little wall): http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/889/889122/gears-of-war-2-20080714033209098.jpg

Killzone 2 (notice the gun shield (?) and other wall textures): http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/890/890010/killzone-2-20080715040155663.jpg

From those screenshots, gears looks better, the details on gears are incredeble, just look marcus vs the killzone guy and you can see very easy a difference, but in vids of booth games looks almost the same. I stil thinking than gears looks better, but, killzone will be relase 3 or 4 months after gears, so, the graphics could be better at the end.

 

 

With those screens, also, considering "horde mode," scale of the battles, and the destructable environments all running at a smooth clip....I gotta go with IGN here and say Gears 2. It's not just about screenshots. It's functional graphics.

Both games have good graphics, though. I think the existance of Gears 2 pretty much dispells the "PS3 has better graphics, secretly" thing, though. It definitely looks better than MGS4 or Uncharted.
