The 64-bit Xbox 360 processor is a custom chip based on three 3.2GHz Power PC cores.

Why have 3 cores and only use one?:p:hmm: What a crock. I don't believe that, where's the sense in holding back 2/3 of the 360's power?
As for my stats I posted, this is my take (& admittadely other PS3 users), drawing on the currently available games and new content available for both consoles. I don't hold much weight in what the respective devs have to say about each of their consoles respective power.
Consider this (a post of mine from another forum)

...you know as well as I do that the PS3 is more powerful. Its well known. Games like Heavenly Sword, GT5, and MGS4 prove the PS3 is more powerful.
I don't use tech specs, I just let the games do the talking. Mass Effect is the best the 360 is offering right now....some argue Gears is still the top dog, I suppose thats debatable. However, the three games I mentioned above look almost a generation beyond both Mass Effect and Gears of War.
As for the 360 peaking, I have a question for you. Why do we not see games like GT5, Heavenly Sword, and MGS4 on the Xbox 360? Surely if it isn't peaked, we should see such things, right? GT5 looks beyond anything we've ever seen in a racing game. Why doesn't PGR4 even come close?
It may not be maxed out, but I certainly believe it's using a good 80-90 percent of it's power already, and that doesn't include the DVD9 handicap.

Now, I'll agree that this isn't hard & fast facts but until both consoles are on level par as far as dev/content is concerned we could 'dance' around this subject forever.
Personally, I think that while graphics and gameplay will level off between the two consoles, I think the PS3 will eventually take the lead in terms of improved physics & environmental effects, this is where the power of the PS3's Cell will shine.
Sorry for the large Gif.

I don't think the 360 will ever do this:
Hehe, please come back:p
