The answer is largely a matter of taste. Individuals who own one of the two consoles are likely to vehemently defend their console to justify their choice of purchase. It is not difficult, however, to examine the merits of each console objectively.
Most people judge a games console on the merit of its games. There are few games that are exclusive to either console, but notable exceptions include the Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead and the Halo series for the 360 and Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, Kill-zone 2 and the Uncharted series for PS3.
People often consider the online features of consoles now, in which case the 360 is generally regarded as having the better online gaming system, although the PS3 has a perfectly usable system. It is worth noting that the 360 requires a monthly subscription to use its online features, whereas the PS3 online features are all free.
In terms of hardware, the PS3 probably wins out with a blu-ray drive, built-in wifi and gigabyte LAN, built-in lithium-ion batteries in the controllers, built-in hard drive and no external voltage adapter. Furthermore, the 360 is infamous for its unreliability whereas the PS3 has shown very low failure rates. The graphics hardware on both systems is of a similar standard, meaning games are often barely distinguishable visually.
The 360 is significantly cheaper, however, and could be seen as offering better value for money.
In the United States, the 360 is by far the more popular console. In Europe, the race is very close with the 360 slightly in the lead. In Japan, the PS3 is by far the more popular console. The PS3 discs have more space than Xbox 360
I say definitely PS3 because it has free online gaming and all you need is a wireless router and the password for it. I think it has better graphics too!
I understand this is a very heated subject, but I've developed a decision making thing:
PS3/XBOX

Shooter: Call of Duty 4 & Metal Gear Solid 4/ Call of Duty 4
Action: Resistance 2 & Uncharted 1 & 2/ Orange Box

it depends what you like and your price range
Without a doubt, xbox. I have both, my ps3 seems to be just an expensive ornament.
Get the PS3 you will love it.
I personally think a 360 is better. a ps3 breaks to easily and the 360 has graphics that are just as good as the ps3.
Xbox 360 rules ps3 sucks
- The 360 has sold more. - The 360's standard model is cheaper.
- The 360's online services are arguably more reliable.
- The 360 has more players online with more microphones.
- The PS3 is more powerful.
- The PS3 comes with more features/kit straight out of the box
- The PS3 has free online play.
- The PS3 has had a stronger line up of games (Source: gametrailers.com "Software Line-up of the Year" awards 2008 & 2009)
Make your own mind up.
There are strengths and weaknesses to both platforms. The 360 has a high failure rate (which MS are "supposedly" fixing in the new generations), whereas the PS3 has a much lower failure rate. However the release of games for the 360 is much more constant and varied, whereas there is a smaller catalog of games for the PS3. As to the online capabilities, it is true that you have to pay for the Xbox Live, but it is a more robust system than the PSN service, with a lot more gamers and functionality. Ultimately the choice is personal, go for whichever one feels right to you. Both controllers come wireless however for the Xbox you have to use batteries or use a battery pack while the PS3 controllers are re chargeable
ps3 is WAY better than xbox because it has WAY better graphics, online gaming is free, ps3 can play blu-ray, AND u don't need to buy a bunch of extra add-ons that make it more expensive... and PlayStationn3 has better games!!!!
well it really depends on your own opinion.
xbox prose
-the controllers are more comfortable.
-they are cheaper than ps3.
-the add ons(controller,ect..)are cheaper.
-you can create an avatar on xbox live.
PS3 prose
-free Internet.
-easier menu layout.
i think that xbox is better but like i said its a matter of opinion.
well i think the 360 is better and if you think ps3 is better you are d
The PS3, it is just better overrall.
The XBOX 360, IT HAS FREE HD AND NETEFLIX AND SOME AWARD WINNING
games such as fall out 3 and left 4 dead. If your talking about ps3 your talking
about long loading screens not that many games and
trophiies[ripp off of acheivements] if you want real entertainment
then go out and buy yourself an xbox 360 ELITE
IT THE BEST OVERALL!!!!!!SILVER IS FREE
ps3
I have a PS3 and I love it! My cousins have an Xbox 360 and that is fun too!
It's really all up to you, the buyer. PS3 has a blue ray player, a very useful device for a good price! They both have their ups and downs though.
PS3 has something called the ylod. That stands for Yellow Light Of Doom. That's exactly the same as the Red Ring Of Death on the Xbox 360. They can both be fixed the same way too! By simply using a heat gun and taking the systems apart but that's another answer. These can be problems. They are caused when the systems burn out.
PS3 has a 1-2% risk
Xbox 360 has a 38-39% risk
I honestly think PS3 is the better buy. But then again there is the all taunting Halo 3 on Xbox 360 only!
i agree with the ps3 but against halo, we have the resistance series! its basically halo but in world war 2 and ive never heard of the yellow light of doom!
My mistake, its yellow light of death. if you google it youll see for yourself xD my ps3 got it. but its fixed now, but another bad thing wth the ps3 is that when the warrenty expires if you get the ylod sony wont send you another unless you pay them like $150 to fix it while with the xbox, if you have the rrod then you send it to the company any time and get a new one in like 2 months.
the only reason why people like the xbox 360 more is because there are way more players for online. but even with the ps3 theres enough. people tend to like the xbox 360 more probably because they never tried the ps3.
heres a great vid i found. i did not make it!

be sure to watch 2 and 3
I am inclined to say yes for one reason - a lot of stuff is free on ps3! e.g. online!
Get a PS3 they are the best.
It's the xbox
Xbox is for online and has more games, because the format is closer to the previous generation (and therefore the game developers won't need to make as much of a jump in their game mechanics, size, etc, giving less risk). PS3 is more powerful and has more potential for advancement over the next 10 years, whereas the 360 has reached it's peak. I say yes and I own both the consoles. But what it comes down to is 3 things 1: graphics, 2 games, 3: service. the graphics on the X box 360 support better lighting when playing games, there fore it has better graphics that PS3. the series of games for the xbox 360 that I think are the xbox 360's best are the halo series from the first halo all the way to reach. And the gears of war series from 1 to gears of war three witch is coming out this year 2011. The ps3 game are Call of duty series from 1 to black ops and the Assassins Creed series. there are more games that I haven't mentioned but what ever. now when it comes down to the games we are going to bring it to the most recent. Halo has a better multipayer than black ops but blacks is definitely a better shooter. Assassins creed definitely has a better campaign that gears 2 but Gears supports better graphics and who knows what's coming for the 3rd gears. lastly the service. What I am talking about here is the on line service. Every one these days is saying "Why would I get the X box 360 on line and pay $50 a year when I can play on the PS3 for free?" And the answer to that question is that xbox 360 online works a a lot better, And that's why you pay for it. when using the xbox 360 there is a lot more social preferences and it moves faster. well that concludes that the Xbox 360 is better than PS3 but the PS3 is still good.
PS3 > Xbox 360 by a mile.
Games: Xbox has amzing titles like Halo, gears of war, and fable (which is also on computer). However PS3 takes the lead with uncharted (Which got better ratings then halo 4, and Uncharted 3 has better graphics then any Xbox title), Kill zone, Resistance, Mod nation racers, little big planet, infamous, god of war, and many more!
Online: As a kid paying $60 a year for xbox live seems very pricy and anoying, however if you have the money you will be awarded with a better online gaming experience! and if you really care about online then you can get PlayStation Plus which is still not as good as Xbox live but is also slightly cheaper!
Features: Although both can get things like netflix PS3 is ahead in this area as it has a built in Blu-Ray player, and a few more things in general are accesable to the ps3.
Controlers: This is the least important part as it really varies in people. Xbox controllers seem better for larger hands and ps3 is better for smaller but both work fine. If you really hate the controller for one system though you can just get a controller not made by sony/microsoft as they make ps3 like controllers for xbox and xbox like controllers for ps3
Random stuff: I find that Ps3 has a few advantages such as people who engoy downloading there games, ps3 can come in 500GB sizes, as the xbox only comes in 320GB (also xbox rips you off by making a 4GB system and selling for same price as the 16GB ps3). Also controllers generally are the same price, there are these cool deals where for an extra $5 you can get a cool game with your controller on ps3! also Xbox 360 cords are normally bigger, heavier, and have a big elecrical box in the middle of it which is anoying for traveling with it!
Final thoughts: PS3 sadly got hacked (however you were given 2 FREE games) for a number of weeks which proved its somewhat bad sucurity and also the ps3 has less downloadable games then you can get from Xbox live, but in my opinion the clear winner is PS3!
