"The PS3's GPU is based on nVidia's 7800 series"
Not true. The PS3's GPU is based on the updated G71 architecture, which is that of the GeForce 7900 series, not 7800. The primary advantage the G71 architecture has over the G70 architecture is a reduction in power consumption (and reduced heat output as a result.)
"the 360's GPU is based on early versions of ATI's R600 series"
No. The Xenos is based on the R520 architecture, and its performance is more in line with that of the top-end Radeon X1800-series (which utilizes the same architecture.) It may utilize unified shader pipelines and a couple other features introduced to desktop GPUs with the R600 series, but that doesn't make it part of the R600 family.
It is indeed correct though that the Xenos is considered in most rendering situations to be the more powerful GPU.
