Besides, this game is not console exclusive, meaning it should look alike.

People compared Xbox's launch titles to PS2 2nd gen games (it had been out for a year) and Xbox was still looking better.

They've had a year to improve their console over 360, where is the improvement?

That's because the original Xbox was easier to code for & had better specs. I think the PS3 has better specs but is harder to code for.

That's not the point.

The point is people are saying its unfair to compare games like Gears of War to 1st gen PS3 games, when its not. People did the exact same with PS2 games to 1st gen Xbox games, and Xbox still came out on top.

With that logic, Sony should be too. And they aren't.

Well the main benefit for Gears of War is the Unreal Engine 3. I haven't seen any PS3 games myself but I'm sure if they launched with Gears of War as well it would look just as good.

I wouldn't be so sure about that one. Since everyone's bringing up UE3 for graphics...it's entirely possible that UE3 might not be able to be coded properly for cell. All the Unreal engines have made good use of the DirectX platform IIRC, which I imagine must be embedded in the Xbox360 to a certain extent. Can a DirectX heavy game be properly ported over to cell?

you are right.
the PS3 should be far far better.
