I must agree PS3 has power in some areas. But when you get a system which is relatively running at the same rate.
I guess you haven't read the thread. Both CPUs run at 3.2 GHz per core/processor, but the PS3 has 8 processors and the XBox 360 3 cores on the CPU. The other major difference in terms of performance is that the bandwidth to the main memory on the Xbox 360 is shared between the CPU and GPU, which is certainly a distadvantage. Overall there really is a major hardware performance and potentials advantage for the PS3 (even more so in combination with default harddrive and Blu-Ray disc).
Of course the difference manifests itself when developers tap into the power of the PS3's additional cores and go beyond the XBox 360's bandwidth limitations.
