People debate about this all the time: Which console is better xbox 360 or playstation 3. There is a lot to look at when comparing the two, and they both have their strenghts and weaknesses. We are going to start with game line up.
Game Line Up: As you all know Xbox 360 was released before PS3 which means Xbox is going to have more games released. Giving xbox players a wider variety of games to choose from. Not to mention that Halo 3 is only released on xbox 360, which in my opinion is one of the greatest games out right now. So because of this xbox wins in game line up.
Graphics: With these two next gen consoles the graphics are very similar. It is very hard to tell unless you have your console hooked up to your HDTV ( and if you don't your really missing out, especially when you hook it up through the HDMI cable). Though I can not tell myself, it is said that PS3 has slightly better graphics so PS3 has this one beat.
Online Play: Online play is really the new standard in video games, it is what makes or breaks a game. Xbox 360 has a great online system known as Xbox Live and it leads the way in online gameplay. Even though it is $50 dollars a year it is well worth the money. Xbox Live is very feature rich with things such as the market place were you can buy anything from gamer pictures, to actual original xbox games. Playstation Online has some great features as well and you can also buy original PS2 games online. One great thing about PS3 is that it has a built in web browser, which can be very convenient. Playstation Online is also free, which is great. But all in all Playstation Online just doesn't live up to Xbox Live. Xbox has this won.
Conclusion: With all things accounted for I think Xbox 360 is the all around better console, and it is the console of choice for many people I know. So if you have been on Antarctica for the past 3 years and don't own a Next gen console I would recommend you purchase an xbox 360. Make sure you get the pro edition though.
