Well, the 360 is quite a bit more powerful than the PS3, in terms of fillrate this is inarguable.
The GPU fillrate is comparable, however the Cell is better suited to take upon itself some fillrate and other GPU related tasks making the whole much greater than the sum of the parts. So IMO it's best to compare system vs system instead of just system component vs system component.
This not because any PS3 component would be inferior. The RSX is better specced than the Xenos in many regards, but it's the Cell which really makes the PS3 so much more powerful with regard to long term, pushing the system's potential well beyond what can be achieved on the 360 with regard to game performance, at least when looking at how all the components all come together in the system.
