All consoles improve over time. PS3 still has a few better looking games then 360's best, not that big a deal though since majority of both consoles are multiplats that are usually either the same or better on 360. Although one thing I do find impressive about 360 is it's lifespan. With GC, Xbox, and this gen the Wii having pretty short lifespans, 360 has been getting super sweet games in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and we can anticipate stuff like Bioshock Infinite and Mass Effect 3 in 2012. Even Kinect (I'm not a fan) seems to have really kick started the system into better health. Nice going 360 :)

I know right? we were promised by cows every year this year the 360 is maxxed out the ps3 will destory the 360 will outsell it and have more high rated games...etc...etc every year we were disapointed.

It kind of reminds me how we were promised that if GTA 4 had been ps3 exclusive it would have been this godly game in graphics and content...yet im playing infamous...what happend?

Xbox 360 has hidden power and its a year older than ps3 which makes it more impressive.

Pretty much as simple as this. Not a single game on my old (RROD) 360 had better graphics than my PS3. Still side with sony on the graphics and games department, not a hard choice at all really.

And still those exclusives are outshined by multiplat games like Crysis 2, Rage, Tomb Raider, and Battlefield 3 (even on console while not as good as PC, still better than most other console titles).

It really comes down to which GAMES look the best, regardless of whether they're exclusive or on multiple systems.

Your listing 1 game with significant framerate performance/slowdown issues (Crysis 2), and 3 games not even released yet. The PS3 version of BF3 will also likely be better than the 360 version according to EA.

Yeah so basically good developers means unlocked power? I like how this turned into a Kinect thread. I think PS3 fanboys must have accepted defeat to the TC, by not addressing what this thread is about.

1 game that has significat slowdowns on both systems that looks better then anything else, and bf3 isn't out yet, but its definitly one of the prettiest games. The only thing i've seen ea say about it is how they are offloading a lot of the workload from the gpu to the spu's but we've known for a while now its the only way the ps3 can keep up with the 360's gpu... so how a spu doc translates to better console version... i will never know

What use is the power if all MS is focusing on is Kinect crap? None. What started off as a great console for me has turned into Tickle me Elmo Kinect, Makes me regret buying the damn thing,

For a consoel that is1 year older hardware than PS3, it can run multiplats that look better than ps3 exclusives. That fact alone means it had 'da powa' because exclusive or multiplat, the fact that some games look better than uncharted 2 and god of war prove the 360 is capable. Gears of war is not an ugly game either.

360 has proven itself this generation, and no matter how cows go "ps3 exclusives are better looking" they dont 360 games out of the water. MS had the better design, as it got it right a year before sony.

So Rage, TR, and C2 don't count for the measure of system performance because they're on more than 1 system? GAMES are what we see that shows us what a console is capable of, exclusive not withstanding.

Generally power is based upon things which can't be done somewhere else. The codes for the multiplatform games aren't necessarily differing by power, one is probably more optimized to work on one console versus the other.

No console have hidden power. It's called optimization. The more a dev is used to a certain type of hardware they can find easy shortcuts in programming a game on that specific hardware to make the game look better on that hardware.This can be also applied to the PC too, but not a lot of devs seem to optimize the changing PC hardware.

well its 2011, so it would make sense that the 3 titles you named would look great when they are released in 2011. im assuming your talking about tomb raider the new one. which does look awesome, but for some reason games never look as good as their preview videos.

That is true but if the multiplat games are better technically than the exclusive then that would prove that the console can do better graphics than said exclusive. I'm not saying one console is more powerful than another or one game is better than another but multiplats can show a consoles power to an extent. They might not be able to show their full potential but it can still show roughly what it is capable of.

I think it's a lot to do with that a lot of games are built on the Xbox360 before they are built on the PS3. I remember reading a few years back that it's easier to build on the 360 architecture. It's similar to translating in languages of the world today. Something that is written in Spanish doesn't have nearly as much shine and magic as when it is translated to English, and vice versa. If it were easier to port from the PS3 to the 360, I'm pretty sure things would be different.
