Why is games on 360 over PS3?

I don't get it. Everyone thinks games on 360 are better than games on PS3. I agree 360 controls are better, but they got same graphics, same gameplay, same online play, same characters, same everything. Take Fallout 3 for example. 360, 9.0 with more votes, PS3, 8.5 with less votes. Whats the deal? I've been noticing it in a lot of games, but when it came out in Fallout 3, that was the last straw. Iguess it's because this is Microsoft's second game system and Sony's 4th, well maybe 5th ifyou count the PSP. So I guess Sony got less popular, cause PS2 was waay better.Plus, we have portable, too. Anyway, can someone give me any reason as to whyeveryone thinks 360 is better with the games?

From the review:

"It's a shame, in light of these impressive design elements, that the PlayStation 3 version is shockingly inferior to the others from a technical perspective. Although the Xbox 360 and PC versions display the occasional visual oddity and bland texture, these nitpicks are easy to overlook. Sadly, the jagged edges, washed-out lighting, and slightly diminished draw distance of the PS3 release aren't so easy to dismiss. We also experienced a number of visual bugs on the PS3. Character faces disappeared several times, leaving only eyeballs and hair; limbs on robots went missing; some character models had an odd outline around them as if they were cel-shaded; and the day-to-night transition may cause odd streaks on the screen as you move the camera around."

More people buy games on the 360 because there are more 360 owners than PS3 owners.

I know, it is strange why the ps3 has less quality of gameplay and graphics than pc and 360. Usually, ps3 graphic quality outnumbers both, but in F3, idk what happened. I have HDMI, so I don't notice it much. My ps3 is updated and none of the characters or the screen mess up, but the jagged edges and stuff are a little noticeable. The lighting is fine though. I guess tha's why. Other than that, it's perfect.

More people buy games on the 360 because there are more 360 owners than PS3 owners.

I agree more people bought 360 and think it's way better than ps3. But you have to remember the early 200's when ps2 came out. The PS2 notally outnumbered the very first MIcrosoft Xbox in games. Every single one of my friends had a ps2. Even my dad got one, and he played Madden so much on it, he broke the thing and had to get the flat one. But now that the 2nd Xbox came out and Sony has already had the Playstation, Playstation One, ps2, psp, and now ps3, people want to see a 2nd Xbox. I guess 2's a charm. But I will always be a Sony buyer no matter what.

The games are developed first on the 360 because more people have them and companies are more inclined to develop first for it because its easier and its more of a money maker for them. The ps3 usually gets ports and due to the architecture of the ps3 being so different it usually suffers. In some cases it's actually very noticeable. This isn't a myth or some people saying the 360 plays the games better because they own it. it really does. Why would developers spend extra time working on the ps3 versions when its not a huge money maker for them?? They could be nice but unfortunately money talks.

I guess the reason would be because the X360 is cheaper. And for this reason, like a previous poster stated, there are more 360 owners than PS3 owners. Therefore the market for games increases for the 360 since there are more people using that console.
