Are we talking about "better" as "more powerful"?
And do we mean "Cell" as "the Cell in PS3" or "the Cell as it was designed"?
Cell, which is a giant DSP (to put it short), is maybe the best processor at the moment for handling multiple tasks simultanously. Sure the Xenon can do that too, but the shared cache limits it more than Cell.
Then getting the best out of the processor, apparently is easier with Xenon. Although, if i remember it correctly, PS3:s Cell should be 10-15% more powerful than Xenon, but all its power can't be used in games (not quite sure can the Xenons power be fully used too).
Then if we compare 360 and PS3 CPU:s, next thing which we run into, is the developent tools and their efficiency. Etc...
So, to answer to your question, at best it depends whose view are we taking and how the processors are used. Without taking the previous into account, i think it is impossible to say which one is better.
