And its not all just about the visuals either, its how much the machine can handle, how big the levels are etc. There are many aspects that the PS3 out classes the 360.
You're confusing ability with what will actually be produced. My point is that, while the PS3 might be a little more powerful than the 360, it will be as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike if no developers take advantage of it on games that will be produced for both systems which will be about 90% of the software. Why bother paying extra to spruce up a game a tiny bit when they could just do a direct port for very little money? The former will produce no more sales so they will take the easy option. Also, I think you are buying Sony's hype a little too much - the difference between the two is less than you obviously think. E3 this year has proven that.

Did you actually read any of my last post? Any price and pack content currently attributed to the 360 is irrelevent as Microsoft will have a marketing strategy which will kick in about a month before ths PS3 is released. I can guarantee it will involve more items as standard and less cost which will render you above sums academic.
