Chronicles of Riddick and Halo 2 came out near the end of the xbox's life and were a step up from any other game. If MS hadn't been forced to end the xbox's life early I'm sure we would have seen even better looking games. Also Since the ps2 was the dominant console many developers had to work on the ps2 and explored every nook and cranny of that console learning how to squeeze all the juice out of it. The PS3 doesn't have the luxury of 3rd party exclusives and mass development anymore so developers won't see the need to deal with unnecessarily difficult hardware or at least wont attempt to exploit it to its full potential.
