@cwead13

To be honest I don't really understand what you're saying about 1080p, because the vast majority of games in Gamespot's graphics comparison features (all the rounds so far) are less than 1080p on both consoles (in fact, the vast majority of games in total for both consoles are 720p or less). There are one or two exceptions within these comparisons, but they were not the most graphically impressive games around.

You're right there are overall more 1080p games on the PS3 (mostly PSN games), but there are native 1080p games on the 360 too. And regarding upscaling, the 360 has a built-in upscaler chip and therefore actually upscales better than the PS3, and anti-aliasing is something that varies from game to game on both consoles.

But yes, I agree with your last sentence, these are just games.

@t0psecretx7 and @cwead13

Comparing exclusives (or the game with the best graphics on each) is not comparing like with like. Only multiformat games offers anything close to a like for like comparison.

Haze was an exclusive FPS for the PS3, but so was Killzone 2, and yet Haze is nowhere near Killzone 2's quality. So why does KZ2 look so much better on the *same* console? Is it because the devs spent more time on the game? Did they have more money? Perhaps they had better programmers? Perhaps they understood the hardware better? Or maybe it's all of those things and more.

So even when comparing different games from different devs on the SAME console, there are many issues which affect the quality of the game and therefore it tells us more about the devs than the console. Comparing different games across different consoles from different devs only magnifies this problem and therefore once again tells us more about the developers than the consoles.

I agree with t0secretx7... If you wanted a true test of graphical superiority, you should chose the best what is considered to be the best games graphically, sound-wise, and control system (my really rough, short list). I for one know the PS3 has a wonderful anti-aliasing system using the SPUs on Cell Processor, but the 360 attempts to solve the 'jaggie' problem by up-scaling the games resolution. Almost no 360 games are naively 1080p; rather they are up-scaled to appear 1080p and in return the 'jaggies' appear less noticeable due to the higher resolution. The problem is often-time the image suffers quality problems because it's not the native resolution. I'm sure everyone agrees that the native resolution is the cleanest, sharpest version. Just my two cents; I'd love to hear anybody's rebuttal. Remember these are games, so everybody have fun.

i think the best way to even consider comparing graphics is choosing the best graphic game for the xbox 360 and the best one for the playstation 3 and compare them because danny does have a point that the multiconsole games are limited to a certain size, therefore you can't add more pixels or textures to the game on the playstation 3, which is definitely capable of happening.

Also most games are multi console anyway so the games on the PS3 are limited to the space on a DVD anyway because they can't cram extra story onto blu-ray because people with a 360 won't see it. I hate it when I hear the word xbox 360 or PS3 when I am with someone else because I know that within a few minutes everyone who plays games within ear shot will be over and trying to batter the hell out of the people with the opposed console. What is wrong with people. Just stop being immature and play the god damn games on which ever console you have. This comparison might go better if we had a vote counter on each image that we can click on to say which console we think is best for a given image, just a thought.

PS3 Is very blurry in more pictures than it isn't. The PS3 seems to have the edge for detail of textures in a lot of cases but then it is ruined by the blurriness of the surroundings. In all cases there are examples of where the PS3 did it right for a particular game and ones where the 360 did it right. I guess in the end I don't think that either console is currently better than the other in terms of graphics because in these comparisons the differences were so small they are almost impossible to tell apart, and unless you stood still and compared both consoles together you would never be able to tell the difference while actually playing the games and in the end that is what we do with them. My preference is the xbox simply because I prefer the controller on the xbox, I think the online experience is superior to the PS3 and I think the PS3 has a lot of games I would never play on e.g. Little Big Planet, the new one with the web cam and the monkey! Also a lot of the selling points of a PS3 I'm not really bothered about, bigger hard drive for media, I have those things called DVDs. Blu-ray, yeah ok, it's modern and a good idea, but in order to utilize the graphics and space of a blu-ray movie you need a blu-ray compatable TV and I don't have several hundred pounds lying around to spend on a TV that I don't need.

I think they should compare exclusives, since mutli-platform games are based on one console and ported to the other console. This game is based on the 360, and I hate they always port to the PS3 or vice versa

It's funny: I have looked through the "marked as spam" comments, and it seems to me there are quite a bit of very high quality comments hidden in there! Maybe it's all of the Ps3/360 Fanboy unions coming in as a group and marking them all as bad... who knows?

Notice how almost ALL of the marked comments are exactly +0 and -10. Seems to me like a Union Raid, or a Hacker... having zero + points on very good, non-biased points, and EXACTLY -10 on dozens in a row.

I love gamespot, but I must say, whenever they said (mainly for the game COD4) the difference is negligible, that is ALWAYS when the Ps3 emerges!

Now, they need an article stating on the 46% failure rate of Xbox 360's, compared to the 13% failure rate of Ps3. Maybe they could write an article about how the Ps3 has FREE online, bluetooth, blu-ray, and FREE connection to wireless internet. Not to mention a much cleaner, more business-looking template for their menu system.

Did I mention FREE ONLINE??

I own both systems and Assassins Creed on both, it was free with both lol. It is very easy for a real gamer to see the diffrence, and here is what I see here and what I see when I play both versions: Detail = 360 - Shading = 360 = Draw Distance = 360 - Fps = PS3 - Character Detail = 360 - Controls = 360 - Anti Aliasing = 360. But remeber this is just for Assassins Creed game, and the game is not made for the two consoles, it just depends on what the developers try harder for and the hardware for the game itself.

cyclonebw, a game isn't just copied to a blue-ray disc to run on the ps3. Each console has their own system architecture, which requires some adjustment to a game's programing in order to run properly on another system. Therefore, a game will almost never appear exactly the same when it is run on different consoles.
