Despite the power difference, a good number of multiplatform games did end up looking better on the X360 than they did on the PS3, this is because of 3 reasons (from what I can think of).

1. The PS3 Cell CPU was complex, and it took devs years to be able to optimize games for it, and make them look better on PS3.
2. The X360 architecture mimiced PC architecture, and thus developing for the X360 was easy.
3. The X360 released a year earlier, so devs had more time with the dev kits.

This time around though, not only is the Sony platform still more powerful then the MS platform, the 3 reasons why X360 games looked better (sometimes) then PS3 games are all gone.

1. & 2. PS4 & XBO have a similar architecture, both easy to develop for.
3. PS4 & XBO released at the same time.

So with PS4 being a more powerful system, and multiplatform launch titles already looking noticeably better on PS4 (e.g. 1080p for CoD Ghosts on PS4, 720p on XBO), will XBO multiplatform games ever look better then PS4 games?
