Here is the comparison of PS3 and Xbox 360 on the lastest hot game- Grand Theft Auto 5(GTA 5)!

The quality of graphics:

The comparison of screenshots and videos, GTA 5 looks almost identical on both PS3 and Xbox 360. There are some minor differences, such as lower-quality mirror reflections on the PS3, and slightly more detailed trees on the Xbox 360. The 360 also suffers from some texture-streaming issues, probably caused bandwidth limitations, which can cause some blurrier textures. Euro gamer notes that this issue can be improved by installing the GTA 5’s Play disc to a USB drive.

The performance:

Overall, the outlook and performance of GTA 5 are almost same on both Xbox 360 and PS3. The visual quality of Xbox 360 is slightly higher than PS3, because of the Xbox’s texture streaming issues. However, although both consoles have a huge architectural differences, the ultimate decider for the seventh generation’s magnum opus title, comes down to the Xbox’s weaker ability to stream textures from DVDs.
