EPIC fail.

burnout, GTA4, COD4 to name a few.

GTA 4?  That's the game in lower resolution on the PS3, right?  It's HD on the 360, but not HD on the PS3.

CoD 4 looks very similar on both systems.  I didn't notice much of a difference myself, except that they both looked like shit compared to the PC version.  I don't know about Burnout, but if you look at Madden 08 it's very obvious that the 360 version looks and plays better.  Same with

I'm not a dev, not for high end games anyhow, but I do understand the architecture of the Cell (I developed a pipelined processor while earning my computer science degree) and I understand game engines (developed one of those, too).  You can find plenty of devs who will say, "the PS3 is more powerful" or "the 360 is more powerful."   The only real area of contention is the Cell and Xenon, as its accepted (and simply a fact) that the 360 has more fill rate and they have about the same amount of memory (small advantage to the 360 here).

And Cell vs Xenon is not a simple discussion because they cannot be directly compared.  The ultimate answer is that the Cell is very fast for some things, but not others, whereas the Xenon is quite fast for most things.  Again, compared to modern processors they're both fairly slow, but not nearly as slow as the GPUs in each of those systems. 

They're both video game toys, sure.  Neither is a super powerful system -- we're already 3 years into the "Next generation" of games, and already PCs can mop the floor with either of the systems handily and they're struggling to live up to the promise of HD gaming.  But, whatever, take offense that I suggested the 360 toy is about equivalent with the PS3 toy, except for some minor differences. 


But GTA4 runs better on ps3... rockstar said so.

And if u look at my past links you will see a thread that sony has more 1080p games then microsft. so You can crack on the lower res if you want but sony still has them beat. (and the system is a year younger)

I like how you didnt even say anything about the other games but thats ok ill leave those alone as well.

And u are right they are minor differences but you did not say that before. so now we agree. ps3 is a little stronger at pushing graphics then 360. you changed what you said but thats fine with me.
