It really is down to tastes. LoT tend to like Quincux AA as they like the 'soft' look it gives PS3 games (they like the lower res Quincux AA graphics of RDR on PS3). Price of Persia (2009) was rated as having better graphics on PS3 because of it. They thought 360 version looked too sharp even though it had better post processing effects and MSAA. There was the same thing about GTAIV. Even though the 360 version was a full on 720p with better framerate, IGN preferred the look of the Quincux AA PS3 version.

For me personally another big advantage for me to pick 360 multiplats over PS3 is the hardware upscaling to 1080p.

Reviews are opinionated pieces that are completely subjective, of course you should "choose" who to read as not everyone has the same tastes and a review might slate a game you would enjoy or vice versa if you don't tailor who you trust.  Some people for instance dont see issues with screen tear and dropped frames the same as others as everyones eyesight is different and the detail you pickup on can also be dependant on what your brain tells you you're seeing.  From this point of view a game that has obvious deficiencies between platforms for some people might not even factor as a concern for someone else.  It's all perspectives.

Like 90% of the cut scenes in FFXIII is prerendered (made up number but its a lot) so it doesn't even run on the console, just played in video format. How the hell is a video, gonna get framerate issues?

I was taking it as a sign of which system that person had a hard on for, and was leaving it at that.  It sucks for people to see their console of choice trail in sales.

Considering the PS3 is supposed to have the superior CPU, and the 360 the superior graphics processor, I am surpised it turns out this way.  Does the memory architecture maybe have something to do with it?

If you just compare the core GPU then 360 is better while PS3 has more powerful CPU.

However, on PS3 the design is such you're supposed to use the SPUs in addition to the GPU - effectively meaning the PS3 potential GPU capability is much higher than the default one on the RSX GPU.  Also, developers should use the PS3s MLAA approach to AA not the default one on the RSX GPU.

Basically, properly coded for, the PS3 is a bit more powerful than the 360 and can support better AA - but it requires coding very specifically to the PS3 architecture - a'la Uncharted 2 or God of War 3 - and hence in most cases you don't see the PS3 properly exploited.

It's not a massive difference, though, and I'm sure the 360 can support better graphics than you see in a lot of titles for the very same reason - they are not fully optimized for the console.  Reach for example looks very nice considering the big draw distance and enemy count (although personally, if I was Bungie i'd have cut these back a bit to remove any slowdown at all, which does occur a bit here and there - but hey, who am I to argue with them?)

Most multi titles have to strike a balance between exploiting the consoles and not being so specific to one they suffer performance issues on the other (FFXIII on 360 and Bayonetta on PS3 are good examples of this).

The recent rise in good PS3 multi titles is down to the PS3 SDK being much improved, making it easier for developers to use PS3 preferred AA, etc. and libraries rather than just coding for the default GPU which on its own as noted is weaker than 360 without the SPUs being added to the equation.

Also, many developers are coding on PS3 first then porting to 360, which produces more balanced results than going the other way around.

You'll still see plenty of multi titles look a tiny bit better on 360 though as many developers are still just coding for CPU/GPU dynamic or porting from 360 which isn't the way to go.

My experience with multi platform today. Not installed to HDD = PS3 version on top. If you install the 360 version it usually comes on top though. Some PS3 games have optional installs and those are usually best on PS3 or equal. There are some exceptions though, like Bayonetta, but its not as bad as it was 2 years ago, where multi platform always ran or looked better on 360 (usually both).

Hmm.... So what you are saying... Is that the xbox 360 released in 2005. Cool.

well the best way to get rid of a hard on is to have an orgasm, so your saying reviewers should have a 360 orgasm? that sounds even worse!

360 has a better gpu, and most people rely on the ps3s gpu instead of tapping into the ps3s superior cpu, because it's just easier
