pex - Exactly why are technical specs the end-all-be-all of what makes great video games?
If your merely wanting a system that has more computational power, choose the PS3.
But just like last generation, the system with the highest specs didn't always have the best games. The PS2 was greatly behind the Xbox and Gamecube in power. Did either system have God of War 2 type games? No. Why? PS2 developers had 6-7 years to work with their systems, high budgets, low cost for development, and a bevy of great economic reasons to stick with the PS2 for good quality games, despite being greatly behind the GC/Xbox in terms of power.
The PS3 is the same way. Playstation 3 exclusives are costing their companies dearly. Great graphical games of this first wave have almost all bombed, and have either gone multi-platform, exclusive to someone else, or are first party, and are getting written off on Sony's losses statements.
So yes, the PS3 will have the better looking games. Unfortunately, they will be very, very, very few and far between - expecially any sort of 3rd party game. If you like Sony 1st party IPs, and are a graphics whore, feel free to get a PS3. However, if you like choices, there might be other systems that will be better.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
