Note both articles are from 2006 when the consoles were both on sale and complete.

umm...The articles say precisely what I said. Right now developers are finding it easier to get more out of the 360 than PS3. The person who wrote the blog on the guardian site also seemed to provide a more detailed explanation about developing for the 2 machines.

And if you've seen any footage of these games, most of which were supposed to be launch titles, you would know not a single one of them looks impressive graphically. Given they have been in development for 2 years now that doesn't bode well for the supposed power of the PS3.

I'd say the graphics for the better launch titles were solid, quite why you'd expect something more is beyond me. Sony has almost always had slow starts with getting results on their machines, the PS took a while before the big hitters came out, and the PS2 was out almost 2 years before the first real killer app came out. Xbox on the other hand is better in this regard, as the XBox had a great lineup for it's launch and the 360 has had some fast results too. Oh, and I'd like to know which of the games I listed were meant to be launch titles?

What videos have you been watching? They look average graphically. I've been following the progress of the PS3 for years. Sony continually lied about the machines power. Look at the early videos of MotorStorm and the final release. The difference is like night and day.

lol, amusing how you think the games are average looking. Sony hasn't lied about the technical specs of the PS3 (they messed up in many other regards though), the press made assumptions on videos they were shown. The big debate wasn't on Motorstorm either, it was on Killzone, with the current game not actually looking too far off of the video footage originally shown.

Right and as the Xbox 360 is graphically more powerful and easier to develop on the 360 will continue to set the benchmark for next gen consoles. Right now claims that the PS3 are more powerful are just that - claims but then Sony have a habit of lying.

Let's wait and see, seeing as it takes a good few years before we're sure what'll happen in the market. I don't see why you're so concerned with graphics (the whole of your reply to me was only about graphics), which are becoming rudementary in gaming now as we've reached a point where eye candy isn't enough to sell a game anymore, which is clearly exemplified by the success of Wii.
