From what I understand, both versions are 720p with no anti-aliasing and run at 30fps...or lower. I've played TS3 on PS3 and I can tell you personally it looks horrible and runs horrible too (goes down to sub-20fps at times; 20fps is the bottom line for playability, anything below that is unplayable). I've heard there's nothing significantly different between the two versions though if http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f24-technology-gaming/t63179-better-sims-3-xbox-360-ps3/#post552109 this forum post] is anything to go by, the 360 may have a slight edge with frame rate.

Is your niece able to play this on her PC? That version isn't perfect either (though the issues on PC are more to do with coding than hardware) but it's a far cry from the console versions in almost every aspect (no load screens, higher resolution, better visuals and better frame rate) as well as extended support from EA.
