I have owned 360, I adjusted 360 with my 32inch Samsung HDTV to view the best graphics as possible and the graphics were amazing, no doubt about that. I found the games less fun. So I gave 360 back because of reasons, months later I finally have bought PS3. Adjusted PS3 with my HDTV, the graphics were AMAZING! Better 1080p graphics than 360 and so far I love PS3
Trix already hit on it, but I just wanted to reiterate that it doesn't make a lot of sense. Since 1080p is simply a resolution, those comparisons are almost worthless unless you were playing the same two games. So many factors that have nothing to do with the actual capabilities of either system can effect display. Like the game's actual technology. I mean, you could be playing Katamari Damacy on the 360 and Uncharted on the PS3. Of course the latter is going to look better in comparison. Component/VGA/HDMI input. What resolution the games support. From my experience with the Playstation 3, there are absolutely no "display features" that make it display "better" at 1920x1080. The nitty gritty technical details of processor, memory, and all that is another matter, but that is separate from the resolution.

Not content simply to argue about which console supports which, you're now arguing in about the quality of the same level of resolution. Who cares?! I'm happy with the Wii's graphics. Certainly, they're not as good as either the 360 or the PS3, but they're nice, and that's not the purpose of a video game system. I don't buy consoles becasue "ooh, this one's capable of processing 3hz faster than that one", or "yay, this one can play all the movies that are going to come out for the next few years until a new format is designed". If I want a movie player, I'll go buy a frelling movie player. I buy a gaming console for the games. You know, those things that the consoles are supposed to be designed for? So what if one system has a slight graphical edge over another? I buy the things to have fun. I don't want to waste a lot of money on a lot of bonus features like slightly enhanced graphics and movie players, I just want a console that can play fun games. That's it.
Well, sure. The games are the ultimate important factor. But that's also a limited way to look at it. I'll watch a movie like The Godfather for a masterful story; I'll watch a movie like Children of Men for the incredible cinematography. If you don't find things like high dynamic range lighting or more photo-realistic graphics important to your experience, that's fine. But just like some people would rather play a game for the plot over the way it actually plays, some people care about cutting edge tech and better graphics. It's a valid issue.
