Have graphics for consoles peaked with this generation?

Well even with limited developer understanding of the PS3 in comparison to the 360 the PS3 still manages to equal ( or even arguable surpass ) the 360 with both multiplatform and exclusive games.

I think the PS3 hasn't peaked purely because developers don't fully understand the archictecture of the PS3 yet.

Considering its of the opinion of several people in this forum that the PS3 is FAR EXCEEDING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE XBOX360, with hundreds of millions of dollars spent to extract this performance as was said earlier in the thread. Why haven't we seen it yet?

Perhaps the reason is the whole architecture around the Cell doesn't adequately support it?

You can buy an 8800gt 256mb or 512. Both are wickedly fast units, but to extract the real performance out of it you need that extra ram to support the GPU otherwise the performance is crippled. Its the same with the PS3 - The GPU isn't strong enough and there simply isn't enough ram to REALLY take advantage of that performance. Its an unbalanced architecture.
