I agree with NinjaMunkey like I said if both versions started development in tandem the results for each of the games would be a lot less significant then it is with the certain titles that don't right now.
I really feel that had all the PS3 multi-plats started at the same time as the 360 version the end result would have been slightly different. If you notice with games like Burnout Paradise and Call of Duty 4 the end result is usually the PS3 version looking slightly better or exactly the same as the 360 version. GTA IV had the benefit of Rockstar putting a lot of effort into the PS3 version and it runs a little smoother with less pop-up.
Did anyone else notice that in the 4th and 5th photos of Assassins Creed the horse is black in the 360's but white in the PS3 version lol. Assassins Creed, Orange Box, Prostreet and Vegas 2 all hand the PS3 its ass, I mean thats not to say the PS3 photos look like crap, their just not as detailed as the 360 photos. GTA IV in my opinion looks better on PS3 as I've played it on the 360 and have noticed a lot more pop up in that version. Burnout Paradise I know is exactly identical and I just bought it for PS3 because all the reviews were stating that it looked and ran slightly smoother.
