Hey... I own an Xbox 360... and my fiancee owns a PlayStation 3. I must say that I've done some comparing for titles on both systems, such as Batman: Arkham Asylum, Bioshock, the F.E.A.R titles, Assassin's Creed and the SKATE games. I tested each system in two ways, one was with a regular Panasonic television, no HD or HDMI cords, just the three basic video and audio cables. Both systems looked fantastic, although the PS3 seemed to have a more 'muddy' look to its textures and general graphics, while the Xbox 360 seemed to have sharper images, although it didn't look as colourful. This stands true for all of the above titles. The second way was with a standard SONY HD television with all the correct High-Definition cables included. The results were remarkably the same, giving the Xbox much more crisp graphics, but with a lack of colour depth and colour-bit rates. This means that the Xbox 360 seemed to have a noticeable lack of colour changing, especially in dark games when someone fired a weapon or an explosion occured. The smoke looked odd against the black background. The PS3 had less-crisp textures, even when on an HDTV, although it gave more colours.
So it seems that the systems, to me, both have their ups-and-downs. The Xbox has more titles that are appealing to most gamers, while the PS3 has the potential of BLU-RAY quality products. The only question is, is which one do players prefer... I don't place either higher than the other, only that they both have issues of their own. This is also just my experience with the systems, so it's only an opinion based comment, here.
