Look at the Rainbow Six, Oblivion, Virtua Tennis, and Fight Night photographs included in my Eurogamer comparison.
The Playstation 3 version of each of those games is at least comparable and, in the last three, significantly superior to their XBox 360 counterparts, and each of them were ports.

Thanks Redfingers. Those were some very interesting links. Some of them you can see cleaner textures and better lighting and shading effects on the PS3. Others, not so clear. Some of them even do look better to me in the 360 shots. I'll admit I'm not always the best judge of such things, so you're welcome to disagree with me.
But what I think is hard to deny is that if a game were primarily developed for the PS3, then ported to the Xbox, that is to say that it gave first consideration to the hardware advantages of the PS3, then the comparison would be far more cut and dry. I'll also get crazy speculative here and say, as we reach the last wave/last gen of titles for thenext gen, we're going to be seeing much more impressive graphics for the PS3. I think, in time, more of the cell's potential will be realized, and it'll be less of a punchline to the gaming community.
