Comparing system exclusives is much better suited then comparing multiplat games seeing as the lead platform usually has the better graphics of the two.
Agreed, if you understand the differences between the 360 and PS3 hardware setup it's easy to understand how minor differences results from game development being lead on the 360. (for example taking optimal usage of EDRam optimisations on the 360, while laregely neglecting the massive potential of the Cell's SPUs).
Developers will tell you it's better to lead projects on the PS3 with an eye on cross platform portability. It will not only result in better PS3 versions, the PC and 360 versions will benefit to a lesser degree as well as more modern and/or more efficient programming techniques are much more important on the PS3 platform.
Madden 2007 and 2008 360 to PS3 ports were worse on the PS3, but Madden 2009 is said to be much improved as well as slightly better on the PS3, so Madden 2007 or Madden 2008 comparisons would now seem obsolete and irrelevant. It's clear their game engine wasn't up to spec yet for the earlier versions and for the long run their game engine will only improve and not get back to yesteryear's state of development.
