What looks better or what looks best is as subjective as saying what SMELLS or what TASTES better.....pointless to argue personal feelings & subjectivity.

 

 

What CAN be debated are things like POLYGON model counts and sizes...GFLOP output...#s of lighting and shading algorithms....etc.

 

 

With that, it is clear that the mantle of console TECHNICAL MARVELS belongs to the PS3.

 

 

Technologically, PS3 is overall more powerful than the XBOX 360, even if only by slight margin.....There is no argument.

 

 

That my friends is fact.

The bigger question now is which PS3 games?

I'm not sure why 360 fans continue to tout crysis 2 as the best looking thing since sliced bread when...... CRYSIS 1 an open world ip that probably looks better than crysis 2 is on the 360, and is technically superior on the playstation 3......

CRYSIS the original can't run on consoles unless running on low/barely medium was ported onto PS3/360 running on the cry engine 3 looking somewhere between medium and high in comparison to the original PC version..... and yet CRYSIS the most overrated looking game ever, now on console, STILL doesn't look nearly as good as UNCHARTED 3(cyrsis on console doesn't look nearly as good as UNCH 3)........ Uncharted 3 really does look almost half a gen ahead of other ps3 exclusives even..... it's almost as if you're playing in CGI...... this is what last of us is expected to achieve as well......

Exclusively speaking..

Killzone 2 (Still no graphical equal on the 360 exclusively to contest it)

Killzone 3 (Same)

Heavenly Sword (Game had no no graphical equal in 2006- 2007 on the 360)

Uncharted (Had no graphical equal on the 360 in 2007)

Uncharted 2 (Same)

Uncharted 3 (Game over)

InFamous 2 (No action adventure game on the 360 is on its level graphically)

God of War 3 (Nuff said)

Heavy Rain (I'm done)

Technically, but if people can't max the PS3, or use the multi core engine as efficiently, you could see better looking 360 games.

Well Uncharted 3 is the graphics King overall right now, after that...it's obviously debatable. People will argue where 2011 360 exclusives and MP titles rank (Some say above GoW3 and UC 2, some say below, most agree better then 2008 and older offerings).

On an annual basis, GoW for 2010, Uncharted 2 for 2009, MGS4 (although not a landslide victory against Gears 2) for 2008, and 2007 Crysis (PC) followed by Uncharted/Modern Warfare (no clear 2nd), 2006 - Gears of War.

Awards based off Gamespot, Gametrailers and IGN.

Just some clarifications.  Crysis won 2007 for GFX award by a landslide or not?

Enough said, Uncharted 3 IMO takes the crown thus making PS3 the definitive graphics king this gen. Nothing in 360 comes closer to Uncharted 3.

I think OP is talking about console games.

MGS4 had the best graphics of 2008. Gears of War 2 couldn't contest it and it came out in 2009. That game pushed the PS3 early in its lifespan.

Do you people actually think you're going to prove anything to the other party?

These graphics debates are always endless with no agreement ever met. Every claim you make, every argument you debate, every picture you post, every award you list, every review you post will be completely ignored by the opposing party and they will post their own evidence. And the process will continue in an endless circle of frustration.

And I think you guys know this...I think you people just enjoy posting pretty pictures.

Let's just wait and see 'till we learn more about what the Wii-U can really do.

Nah, he's talking about this-gen.  Wii U is for all intents and purposes considered next-gen.
