The me thing that stopped me buying a 360 is thats its just to average. I feel it does nothing for gaming at all, and it has nothing over the other consoles, apart from its slightly better online service. Anyways,
Hardware
PS3 360 CPU cell microprocessor + seven synergistic units @ 3.2 ghz ghz three chips running 3.2 Ghz GPU NVIDIA + sny RSX chip running @ 550 Mhz ATI xenos chip @ 500 Mhz MEMORY 512mb512mb HDD60 GB20 GB DISC Blu-ray 50 GB9 GB DVD
As you can see, the PS3 is more powerful. Meaning developer can build bigge and better games when they concentrate souly on the PS3's architecture and not multi-plat. Playstation 3 also has blu-ray, which is currently owning HD-DVD, by 2-1. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=24395.
While on the subject of hardware, It not helping 360 with all these 3 rings of death storys. people claim to be on there 3rd 360 already, and its not Microsoft with the high number of 360 they have to fix.
Additionally, the PS3 six-axis controller allow immersion into games. Motion controllers are turning out to be really successful, as demonstated by the wii-mote.
Games
Right now, the 360 does have a Superior range with more AAA and so on. however, the Playstations range is looking very strong, with Meatl gear 4, Final fantasy 13 and versus, Uncharted, Heavenly sword, lair, tekken 6 all exclusive. Plus multi-plats such as GTA4 and Assassin creed will do more for Ps3 than 360. Allot of people, like me for one, are waiting for the GTA 4 Ps3 combo. 360 has some awesome games, such as gear and halo, but both of these are inthe same genre, as well as mass effect, sci-fi shooter. IMO, 360 lacks a decent range of games. It has some great looking rpgs on the way, like fable 2, but fable 1 was only AA. blue dragon will be quiet easily AAA, but the PS3 has final fantasy, which has been AAA continuosly for years.
Online
A strength of the 360 over PS3. But allot of lemming give it to much credit. XBL will cost you $150+ for free years. And what does it offer you thats worth that money over PSN? Both system have online arcades, both system have downloadable content for games, which cost money. Xbox use xbox points, Playstation uses real money in micro-transactions. heres a video of Playstation network, i'd like to hear what XBL has over it thats worth that sum of money.
With PSN offering innovative features such home and little big planet, Sony is closing the margin of Online service features. here a video of what the PSN can do. http://www.gametrailers.com/index.php?p=ps3 check out Playstation network showcase.
Conclusion
the PS3 offer so much more than the 360, in hardware, potentially games, and not only that , the PS3 games have something for everyone. Where the 360 seems to be strong at fragging aliens. Soon, the Ps3 game library will be supprior (unless all og its upcoming exclusives flop, then i will be truly owned :P) The 360 may have better shooters, but the pS3 offer a better range, and if the team at Guerrilla learn from there mistakes will Killzone 1, Killzone 2 could be AAA, maybe better.
I'm not saying the 360 rubbish, by no means, me and my mate have a great time kicking *** on gears and smackdown, but it just feels so average. And thats why the PS3 will overtake it, maybe not this year, but in the Long-run. Good day :).
