if anything it's less high def. It didn't even have the capability to output 1080p (in any way) before the tripple was released and they decided they needed to throw in a hdmi port to compete.
Actually after reading the op let me respond properly. What you are seing is what i would refere to as "developer hell" We have been over this a lot but developers has had a hard time developing on the tripple. That's resulted in such things as the lower resolution in some games. However, as you say yourself, people have started using the ps3 as the lead platform which benifits both platforms (as 360 games also ends up looking better than if it had been the lead platform for a game to be ported to the ps3)
Conclusion : we should be over all of this crap by now. :p
