yep...the usual suspects... one a classic sony fanboy, the other a fanboy in disguise. One states opinion as fact in a soundbite - sony style , the other tries to justify opinion as fact by using pseudo intellect, spurious facts and anecdotal evidence.

MOST reasonable people would AGREE that there is virtually nothing in it either way.

Please just think about it logically... the difference (if there is one) is so tiny that a debate about its existance can still be had. If the difference was tangible and readily visible that debate couldnt even start.

I was just about to post this. 3 PS3 fanboys only (including Megadude with that useless comment) is pretty good for 6 or 7 pages of a thread.

I tend to agree with OP on this one.

Time and funding are clearly bigger factors than hardware between the PS3 and 360.

I mean look at Resistance 2 and Gears 2, they aren't massive leaps over their predecessor because they only had about 2 years. I also believe that Uncharted 2 won't be as big of a leap from Uncharted 1 as some people are expecting. Yes I've seen the videos, it looks great, but so did Uncharted 1. I'm expecting a Gears 1 to Gears 2 leap (obviously on an already better level, but the difference would be the same).

I'd be surprised if by the end of this generation, we see a game from either platform coming out that is graphically superior to anything on the other platform in every technical aspect (artistic style is definitely subjective in terms of appreciation).
