This comparison is very unfair to Halo Reach. When you take a picture in Halo 3, the game adds Anti-Aliasing 8x, improves de texture filters, and increases de resolution to 1920x1080. When you are in-game though, none of these features are really present, at all. Halo Reach on the other hand, has much better in-game anti-aliasing, texture filters, and resolution. Actually, Halo 3 ran over 640p: this made the game look like it had almost no anti-aliasing.
In my believe Ps3, while being a very powerful machine, does not have the right hardware architecture for gaming. That is why the 360 is still the best system graphic wise. Best example is PS3's MTGS 4, because while being an amazing game (hands down GOTY) and having amazing graphics they aren't as polished as GeoW 2...
I can clearly see the Xbox is still better than the PS3 in graphics. I would love to see a comparison between Gears of War 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4. I know they are different games with different art direction but I would love to see those games compared in the future.
Halo 3 looks pretty amazing, but not better than GoW. IMO Halo 3 is the second best looking game in the console. Hey check out the first screen on environments, the difference is amazing!
