Uhm... no. Even at its best PS3 games were at par with 360. Not significnatly better if at all, just at par.

Sony should have used in a cheaper CPU and a better GPU. You know... like PS4.

I'm not sure where you are getting your information from. A lot of games are enhanced over xbox 360 on ps3.

1. Many 360 games have much inferior sound. 360 games had to come on dvd's and didn't have the space of ps3 blu-rays so were more highly compressed and only supported dolby 5.1 compared to up to uncompressed 7.1 on ps3 often with additional sound layers.

2. movie sequences on ps3 could be pre-rendered 1080p high quality movies where as these were often reduced quality highly compressed movie sequences on 360 or often game engine movie sequences.

3. ps3 supported a greater range of 1080p games 

4. ps3 had wider support for 3D games

5. cell processor is less optimised in multiformat games but games built from the ground up made good use of the cell and many of these games wouldn't be possible on 360 to the same quality.

I'm an owner of both 360 and ps3 and while for multiformat games the 360 was generally better for exclusive games they often performed to a higher level on ps3 than similar games on 360.

1. Not sure how accurate that as is or what games actually took advantage of it. But that's not a big selling point.

2. That's true, but many 7th gen games were moved away from FMVs and the quality of 360 videos were generally fine.

3. They both have 1080p games. Hence, they were both capable of 1080p if a game was designed to do so.

4. That was because Sony was pushing 3D TVs (it failed).

5. I could argue PS3 was incapable of running Gears 3 and Halo 4 at the same quality because of its inferior GPU and RAM. We don't really know.

I think Sony studios a great job optimizing games and put a huge focus on graphics. Regardless, notable 360 games were at par.
