Have you seen this 360 vs. PS3 Graphics Comparison?

[Crevalle]

Gamespot has a nice article comparing the graphics of each console at this point in time. It made me wonder who in the world would pay such a premium at this juncture for the PS3.

Their bottom-line?

Conclusion

The Xbox 360 had better graphics in almost all the games we examined. The 360's biggest victories were in Madden 07 and Fight Night Round 3, where the differences in texture detail and lighting stood out in our comparison shots. We couldn't capture this in the screenshots, but the Xbox 360 games generally offered better framerates too.

We're going to give the PS3 the benefit of the doubt in this initial round since developers might need more time to figure out how to maximize performance from the Cell and the RSX. If you look at the Xbox 360's first Madden game, Madden 06, you'll notice that it doesn't offer very realistic stadium shadows, either. The trouble with buying a console at launch is that you often have to wait for the second or third generation of games for the system to fulfill its potential. The PS3 didn't beat the 360 in this first comparison, but the games do look fine for first-generation titles. The real graphics battle will likely come next year. -GameSpot

The textures of the PS3 are just plain awful... for a system hyped as such, I'm surprised at how bad it turned out. But then again, the PS2 paled in comparison to the XBox and GCN, and look how that turned out...

I though it was funny that yesterday I saw a guy looking at the PS3 demo in EB and talking about how much better it was than the 360.  His friend said "no it isn't", and the guy pointed at a pre-rendered shot on the demo "attract screen", and said "what do you mean, look at that."  When I say pre-rendered, I mean, "intro movie to the game" pre-rendered.  As in, ending with the title and having the camera zoom into and out of the car and all over waiting for the car to enter the shot.  It was crazy of anyone (even a soccer mom) to think that was in game, and here's this guy with a 360 demo unit playing games 3 feet away talking about how the PS3 looks better.  Seiously, Gears of War looked better than this pre-rendered footage anyway.

yeah, but can the 360 solve a rubiks cube and make your bedroom explode?

On a miscellaneous note, I am very resentful when it comes to game companies using pre-rendered footage to represent a REAL TIME video game. The Tekken 6 sweaty bump-mapped raytraced face subsurface scattered face comes to mind.

Tekken 6 looked pretty crappy even pre-rendered imo.  The tony hawk screens were down right funny, the game was so washed out you could see like a 4th of the screen.

Hell, I was a PS3 believer after seeing Kill Zone 2.  That game looked freaking amazing.  Of course, that was until the fact that the game was nothing more than a pre-rendered movie came to light, way, way afterwards.
