I doubt there will be much in it either way.... doesn't really matter either, given the biggest sellers are multiplats.

Why would that make it matter less?

because multiplats will look very very similar even if the gap is bigger than marginal.  Indeed most multiplats this gen looked/performed better on the "weaker" console.

I would say it matters more. With multiplatform games, there are direct graphical comparisons. It's hard to argue which game looks better, Uncharted or Gears of War, because they are different games. With games like Red Dead Redemption and Final Fantasy XIII though you can directly compare both platforms, and the differences are very noticeable.

Also, that was down to the PS3 being difficult to develop for, if there is a significant gap in performance, one version of a multiplat can be fine tuned to take advantage of that performance. I'm pretty sure that the 360's tendency to get better versions of multiplatform games had an impact on hardware / software sales.
