This is obviusly an issue for people that have a PS3 and 360. I don't like PC so please don't bring PC up.

What factors are relevant to look at?

These are factors that I can think of:

1) Whether reviews say it is better on one system for certain reasons (better graphics etc.)

2) If it has online you may want to get it for 360 which arguably has better online

3) The controller that you prefer

4) The fact that you can intall games on the 360 hard-drive (although I don't know how significant this factor is).

Do you agree with these factors?

Are there any factors that I am missing?

Usually 360 or PC, but I got GTA IV on PS3 first, because I had all the other games on PS1 and PS2.

So far its always been the 360. It is usually the best version, the controller fits most games better than the DS3, and Live is much better than PSN.

For games I know I will spend alotof time with multiplayer, the 360, I just enjoy live that much more over PSN. For single player based games, I will get for the PS3.

Thanks for the info so far - I have a related question too:

Do multi-plat games have more people playing on the 360 (and do people continue playing more on the 360) compared to the PS3?

I would think so since the 360 came out a year earlier and so has a bigger intall base, but how significant is the difference in numbers.

If it's significant, I imagine you should get games on the 360 since people will be playing them longer on the 360.

PS3 cause I have a larger hard drive and I prefer the controller. I would have said freen online but my dad got me Xbox Live Gold so I can't use that one anymore.

I get all multiplats on PC unless it is either a game not coming to PC or a game I think my kids would like. If so, then I get it on PS3 (once I replace my stolen PS3 that is).

multiplayer games definatly go to the 360 no question about that. most single player games go to the 360 also with some exceptions. although im getting into the groove of getting more games on my ps3, it just took a while to pick up steam. now that im paying more attention to it, im noticing how much more i enjoy playing on it. i still have to get my hands fitted to the ps3 controller when i make the switch between games though....
