Okay im sorry if this has been posted before but I have a serious question. Who really has the better graphics of the 2 systems. I own a ps3 so im not biased at all. I' m starting to see that all 3 of gamespots graphical comparisons have the Xbox 360 showing better graphics.

 

I have also came across a few articles that sites and developers has stated that the xbox 360 gpu is superior to the rsx.

 

Mostly all the game trailers videos have showed that Xbox 360 having the better graphics

 

So i have a few questions..

 

Is it true that 360 GPU is superior to that of the PS3 RSX?

Does blu-ray have any affect to graphics like it does to movies??

Is the excuse true that all ps3 owners use which is that they make a game for 360 and port it over to the ps3?

Are multiplatform games always going to look better on 360?

And finally, everyone knows that ps3 has a powerful cpu called the cell but does it help contribute to the graphics and making the gpu more powerful than the 360?

 

 

 


 The RSX reportedly has more brute power than the Xenos, but the Xenos is a much more flexible GPU because of it's unified shaders, so developers can harness it's power easier. As far as development purposes go, the consensus is that the 360's GPU is superior.

As for the porting issue, older titles that were ported from the 360 to the ps3 are generally the ones that have problems.  Games that were ported from the ps3 to the 360 (Burnout Paradise)or games that were developed simultaneously one each (CoD4) are generally equal between the two (sometimes ever so slightly favoring the ps3, ala Burnout).

As for which system is more powerful, I don't think that will ever be determined.  However, I point you towards Uncharted and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for a demonstration of what the ps3 is capable of.  The general consensus is that Uncharted looks better than the console versions of CoD4, and it runs in native 720p, whereas CoD4 is 600p.
