Xbox 360 v/s Ps3 Graphic comparison.

Looks like its xbox vs ps2 redux. Most launch games(on both platforms) are looking better on the xbox 360. Gamespot has a detailed report on this. They go on to compare Nfs carbon, Cod 2, Madden, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, NBA 2k7, Fight Night 3, Tony Hawk, Tiger Woods.

We expected the PlayStation 3 to ship with several games that first appeared on the Xbox 360, similar to how the Xbox 360 had a lot of Xbox ports at launch. And the PS3 did indeed arrive with a good number of games that originally shipped for the Xbox 360. This gave us the perfect opportunity to compare the graphics on both systems with several cross-platform games. You'd think that the PS3 versions would be exactly the same or slightly superior to the Xbox 360 versions, since many of these games appeared on the 360 months ago, but it seems like developers didn't use the extra time to polish up the graphics for the PS3. We found that the Xbox 360 actually had better graphics in the majority of the games we compared.

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.

Xbox 360 Versus PlayStation 3 Graphics Comparison - Features at GameSpot
 
The Getaway for Ps3, imo will be the first title on the platform that will truly showcase what the Ps3 is capable of. The Getaway 1 was released on Ps2 around the time GTA VC released and it still preserves one the best graphics on Ps2, to this extent at some places the game lagged.

MGS4, FF13, Halo 3, RE5 will set the benchmarks of these consoles.

Apparently not. Knowing the innards of both the systems graphically x360 will keep on trumping the ps3 in that department, The castrated 7800 with a 128 bit mem bus is no match for a unified architecture based Xenos inside the 360. Games like Gears of Wars so early in the life of any console is a testament to the power of Xenos. Now all it would come down to is who has more/better games.
 
Give Ps3 a year and then talk fair Blade, X360 may trump Ps3 for all the time to come, but games now only hint towards Ps3's real capabilities, because last I checked, Gears Of War wasn't a launch title either.

Exactly. X360 may lead in graphics department, but if Ps3 scores again with games, it'll yield same results as Xbox vs Ps2.

And as long as FF13 is exclusive, Ps3 will keep a stronghold in Japan, and as long as Mgs4 and DMC4 are exclusives, it'll be nearly the same for the rest of the world, and not to mention, rumours of GoW 3 (God Of War, get your own one Gears of War!) on the Ps3.

Sure. But then again knowing the graphics capability of certain console it's not hard to predict who would trump ;). Check out the Gamespot images if you haven't, problems with the ps3 versions include lesser details, improper lighting and HDR/Bloom, lower resolution textures etc. I know these are launch titles but the ps3 was 1 year late to the market and the delay was blu-ray related which makes you wonder why the graphics were subpar when compared to a year old games released on another console, even though devs had a lot of time on hand.

Ofcourse i've never argued about the games. I saw the dmc4 gameplay demo though wasn't impressed much. I hope they keep improving....
 
It's embarrassing that multiplatform games that have been on the X360 for almost a year now look worser on the PS3.

Things are entirely different this time around. The X360 enjoys much more suppport than the Xbox ever did.

X360 enjoys a much larger fanbase because of the one-year headstart, but that 's not nearly enough to guarantee a win of any sort. I know many who just bought their X360's to pass time until the Ps3 releases.

And things can change rapidly in years to come, Ps3 has equal chances of levelling and surpassing X360 as X360 has of keeping its strong base it has secured over the head-start.
 
I'm talking about developer support,:p but yeah, the X360 does seem to have a larger fanbase this time thanks to it's headstart and Sony's constant screwups.
 
PS3 has the Sony legacy to back it up, and there is no reason why ardent console players wont buy both.

In the end price, and game base will determine the winner, but rest assured there wont be any clear winner. Wii is taking away quite a bit mkt share too.
 
Too early to come to a conclusion.Wait for games like motorstorm to come out.There's already a demo out there that looks great! The area where sony screwed up is the included blu ray player.HD DVD player is much better than the blu ray players where movies appear grainy.

As far as graphics is concerned ,call of duty even on a wii looks good. So graphics isn't the only deciding factor here.
 
The ps3 has a lame graphics chip compared to the xbox 360. There's no way the graphics on the ps3 will ever match the xbox however much the sony fanboys may crib about it'll get better :p.
 
PS3 fans should hope that physics becomes a hot factor in games, because as of now, that is the one place where the PS3 will easily kick the X360's ass.

Or maybe not.

in the same post? Xbox games look better than Ps3, HD-DVD look better than Blu-Ray, but I highly doubt if it'll be the same case 1 year from now.
 
^^ Well it won't be the same case for ps3 games 1 yr. from now but i doubt whether Blu Ray will be as good as HD DVD even after an yr.
 
Fact is they both have strong potential to produce HD quality on upon the other, so things can change. Though just for facts, Blu-Ray can do much higher bitrates than HD-DVD in the same codec and revisions are still being made to Blu-Ray codecs, i.e - it is still in beta stages.

There's a particular vehicle level in resistance which features the worst physics ever on a "next" gen console.
