I must also add to confuse things, the Xbox360 does have a better graphic card.
The RSX (G71 based, but there are significant differences, especially with regard Cell communication) offers more raw performance, it can perform more total shader ops per second.
Differences with the G71:
Beyond3D:
"While the RSX might have some parts removed compared to the G71, such as its PureVideo technology, transistor count is likely balanced back by having more redundancy and larger caches: indeed, we believe that most of the RSX's internal caches are larger compared to any G7x part, including the post-vertex transform cache and compression caches. In addition to its normal 48KiB of texture cache to its local memory, it also has an extra 96KiB of cache dedicated to communication with the XDR memory pool, in order to improve bandwidth utilization and average latency, and make it possible to use that memory pool for texturing operations - resulting in greater overall system bandwidth utilization."
The RSX was designed to go hand in hand with the Cell and will be used as a combo in other future products, like planned by Toshiba.
