Best console graphics threads are always filled with people praising PS3 games.
Is it possible that the PS3 has some exclusives that, graphically, are a cut above anything on the 360?

GIF spam is pretty much only PS3 games when it's a console game.
If you want gifs, check the Halo threads.

The Eurogamer face off things are mainly filled with people saying that it's irrelevant if the PS3 version isn't quite as good.
If we're talking about a middle of the road 3rd party effort, that's one thing, but people have put Alan Wake on a pedestal, saying it's equal to or better than the PS3's best looking games graphically.
It really doesn't matter much. Whether or not Alan Wake is a good game won't come down to its resolution. Remedy is a developer with a good reputation that has been well earned. The game has been given a lot of production time. It's offering an interesting world and an atmospheric setting. The game won't suck.
What I do find interesting is, and I pointed it out in the last Alan Wake thread as well, is the apparent need for some people to anoint an upcoming game the equal or superior to its exclusive PS3 counterparts. We saw it with Forza 3, we're seeing it now with Halo: Reach and Alan Wake. It's apparently not enough for some people to say the game looks great, or that it could be the best looking game on the 360, it must be as good or better than the best games the PS3 has to offer as well. To me it seems like an unnecessary comparison that ultimately short changes the 360 game.
