lets get something straight. For one thing XBOX 360 is the one with the next gen gpu NOT the ps3. let me explain. the 360 has a gpu that uses a unified shader architechture. this architecture is the new style chip design that lets graphics cards operate at 90% efficiency almost all the time when they are fed optimized code. very efficient. the old pipeline architecture (inside the ps3) on the other hand, typically operates at 60%. this is a real waste of processing power.Some may say that the xbox chip will never catch on. This is also not true. go check out the nvidia G80 and ATI r600. both are unified based cores by the worlds two largerst graphics manufacturers and are the first of a long line of chips to come. thats future proof, and its simply the way the technology is taking. xbox 360 is along for the ride while ps3 is in the past. As of right now there isnt much difference in terms of graphics power between the consoles gpus because games are still being coded for the old style architechture. But once the code switches to unified, the xbox 360s superior efficiency will put it ahead of the ps3. Think about it, the 360 will be so efficient that even with slightly slower specs to the ps3, it will be able to do more graphics work as new games come out
