Unfortunately Ps3 has a bad situation with its memory. And any open game like this will be affected. As the Cell can only draw from 215 mb ram. In contrast the 360 has significantly more headroom as the developer can choose how much of its 512 mb to use for GPU or CPU at any given time during the game.
Up till now Sony have done well pushing visuals in a confined level ( Uncharted, Killzone and GOW3 ). While Microsoft has let third party developers push the 360 with universal engines. Its only now in 2012 that Microsoft is pushing the 360 with titles like Halo 4. Well previously we have had Forza 4 and the soon but gorgeous Horizon.
The fact is Sony have designed levels and games around the memory issue. Which is why when I fire up GOW 3 or Unccharted 2 for example it looks its best when I don't have control of the game. Or its levels are very confined.
Both larger level games like Crysis 2 and Rag also suffered in PS3 in comparison.
ts unfortunately a fact. It doesnt even matter how powerful a CPU might be, if the memory isn't there.
