The ps3 due to the cell processor and RSX GPU. The Cell Processor consists of 8 SPE's (pretty much each SPE is a computer) and one PPE. This allows for more information to be streamed, and it is also very powerful. The Cell pools it's RAM with the RSX and shares the workload of graphics and environment synthesizing, as well as processing different tasks at the same time.
While the xbox 360 has a 3 core processor, which is great, but less than half as powerful as the ps3, even with it's GPU attached.
Also, multiplatform games, such as sports games will for now look better on the 360 because developers just directly port the 360 version (the lesser powerful console) to the ps3, which results in worse frame rates and shoddy graphics. Though if developers took the time to optimize for the ps3, the graphics would look much better, and would run smoother on the ps3. (example- Oblivion)

PS3 is better. PC with such capabilities will cost you 2000$+
Let's compare them
PS3 has 8 kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3x2
PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 50 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular DVD (4.7 gb).
Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in card reader (except 20 gb version), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 130 $
Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of doom" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it.
Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is a uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
In some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
I own Ps3.

It's up to the game developer and what they choose to put into their creation So lets hope the game programmers start stepping up...but the ps3 has the better graphics capability with the nvidia rsx GPU... THe 360 and elite still use an old out dated dx 9 based system...

XBox 360 all day. The graphics are some much better than PS3. Have you seen Madden 08, it's like your actually watching a ive football game.

PS3 in my opinion and that's because of games like Resistance: Fall of Man.

I'd say in theory the PS3, but it's unlikely more than a handfull of games will ever show it.
