I think many of you are forgeting one very important thing. When a developer says that the PS3 is more powerful, that does not equate to "The PS3's graphics are vastly superior to the 360's". There are much more important things in the background that the PS3 simply does better.

I have yet to see a game on 360 that produces as many enemies on screen as Heavenly Sword with as few graphical glitches as it does. You literally can see 400 enemies on screen rushing towards you, each with their own corresponding AI. From what I hear, L4D is good.........but not THAT good. Resistance 2 yields 60 multiplayer matches with almost zero lag(at least not becuz of the number of players). Gears of War 2 is said to have blank number of enemies on screen at one time, yet from what I have seen the game sacrifices draw distance for high res textures(whether that is good or bad is up to you).

The PS3 is simply more powerful. This is said by many developers, the people who are putting these machines to the test in the first place, over and over again. Regardless of whether the 360 can produce a equally superior as far as graphical game as the PS3, or the PS3 might have a slight edge in graphics that does not warrent a decisive winner. The fact remains that.....
-360 cannot play a game that is 50gb big. It is simply impossible with the medium that MS chose for it. It is also not practical to use multi discs with everything. Even if you say MGS4 can be put on multiple discs for 360, that still means that the PS3 could hold more content for the game and then sum. Imagine when games are as big as 2BD discs. What will happen then?
-Developers are actually TAKING AWAY content to suite the smaller format and capabilities of the 360's hardware, ala RAGE. The game was cut to 1/3rd its original size because the company did not want to deal with outrageous number of discs for the 360 system when the PC and PS3 versions would suffice with one BD disc (doesn't matter how many discs the PC version is).
-Developers, when discussing this particular matter, say one of two things. They are both EQUAL OR the PS3 is more powerful. I cannot think of one instance where a developer has ever said the 360 is more powerful. That means the spectrum of which is powerful is in the middle or towards the PS3's side. That means on average the PS3 is superior to the 360's hardware. Mind you that this bodes nothing on the quality of the games produced on both(besides the obvious).
-Lastly, RROD. The 360 crumbles under the pressure of its own hardware. That is not the making of a superior system, that is just simply FACT!

So regardless of the statement that IBM has made on the Cell, the PS3 has proved it to be superior hardware in comparison to the 360. With Equal to better graphical capabilities, Unmatched game medium allowing unlimited space, and hardware that is fully functional and a solid as a rock, it cannot be denied.

P.S.
I still must commend you for a very well executed article showing sources of your info and the like. Very well done. I wish more people would do so before spouting off at the mouth on crap like this.
