Honestly, as a consumer, if the PS3 and the 360 were to come out at the same time, and looking ahead into one year of gaming, PS3 would likely have been my path to gaming for my first year in the "next gen," because if you compare the two's first years;
Xbox 360: Perfect Dark Zero, Condemned: Criminal Origins, GRAW, Saints Row, Dead or Alive 4, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Call of Duty 2, Kameo: Elements of Power, Ninety Nine Nights, Quake 4, Enchanted Arms, and the first year's highly anticipated title, Gears of War
PS3: Resistance: Fall of Man, Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom, Virtua Fighter 5, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Lair, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Motorstorm, Genji: Days of the Blade, Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire, and for the PS3's big closing of its first year, albeit a week late, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
I see PS3's first year as a much more underrated, but more varied, selection of games, compared to the 360. The only reason the PS3 is being singled out is because of its unfortunate lateness and issues of price. If GTA IV and MGS4 weren't delayed, the PS3, indefinitely, would have the stronger first year, even though GTA IV is multi platform. All the crap with, "PS3 gamers, why don't you buy games?" and "PS3 doesn't have any games" is all a bunch of nonsense. I own a 360, but the PS3 is not too far off in terms of game selections.
