You know, I don;'t think anyone has thought of this question! I too would like the answer.

The Xbox version is supposed to be superior. Gamespy gave it the higher ranking and Gamespot gave it the BEST! nod

Both versions are about identical, so you can expect the XBOX version to look just a smidge better. It's really a matter of preference in this case...

from Gamespot:
The visual quality of the game, along with the load times, account for the only significant differences between the Xbox and PlayStation 2 versions of Mercenaries. The game pushes the PlayStation 2 hardware pretty hard, and it gets a lot out of Sony's aging platform in the process, but the Xbox simply handles the load better. We noticed shorter load times, a better draw distance (though this is really apparent only when you're in a chopper), cleaner textures, a higher, more stable frame rate, nicer special effects, and slightly better animation. Not to marginalize the PlayStation 2 version, which is still a ton of fun and completely playable, but those with the ability should unquestionably go for the Xbox version.
I have the PS2 demo and the full game on XBox and can back them up on this
