I wholeheartedly agree.  The differences this gen are FAR more pronounced than they were between the 360 and the PS3!  Xbox fans keep trying to minimize the differences, but they ARE there, and they ARE significant, no matter how much they try to downplay it!

Wasn't that the case during the first year for PS3 and 360 games.  Resolution was much worst on the PS3 and framerates were crap.  Now we see developers stating they can reach at least visual parity with the X1.  In other words, look for 1st and 2nd party to really try to squeeze the most from either console.  For 3rd party developers its not a priority and probably never will be.

The problem with your link is that COD 4 was not the first COD on the PS3, it was COD 3.  Why don't you find the reviews for that one compared to the 360.  Also one game is not enough to confirm our argument.  During the first year of the PS3, there were multiple games that performed like crap from 3rd party developers compared to the 360.

Instead of using just one game from Eurogamer Digital Foundry, why don't we add mutiple games during the first year or so in the PS3 lifespan to draw that conclusion.

You can go find the rest of these face off artiles during the beginning of the PS3 and 360 area.  Depending on the developer there were games that had very bad framerates from the 360 compared to the 360 version.  You also had a multitude of missing graphical features resolution differences just like we see today.  As developers tools and skills improved all of those short cummings started to disappear but you never really had the PS3 version outclass the 360 for 3rd party developers.
