Sometime the 360 has trouble outdoing its predeseccor.

the first 2 are X360 game the last one is an xbox game. i know the 360 is better the the xbox but from these pics the 360 textures are not any better then xbox textures

 

The original XBox had a default harddrive for developers to always rely on and the disc storage space is the same for both XBox and 360, so using very high quality textures and/or a great diversity of textures developers run out of DVD space.

 

but the 360 should blow all xbox games away but from these pics it seems that it doesnt do it all the time

 

The 360 is more powerful, it can have far more action onscreen, add many more graphics effects, etc.

Having more onscreen however does mean more texture data has to be fed as well, also high quality textures on the XBox take up about just as much disc space as it does on the 360. You can workaround this by reusing assets throughout the game (less graphics varierty), there are also some procedural methods (which usually take a lot of coding efforts usually with worse results compared to artist design) especially the Cell processor on the PS3 is very powerful for.
