I like the fact that every retail and arcade Xbox 360 title has achievements. Not every PS3 game on the other hand has trophies. This is why I prefer achievements.
If trophies were completely universal, I suppose they would be better. It gives you a pretty quick and dirty overview of how much they accomplished. But on the flipside, the 360 achievements system is more indepth (with the trophies, you have 4 tiers. but the points system for achievements is more flexible in terms of weighting the significance of each achievement. And the completion percentages are nifty). Especially if you use trueachievements, you can really go in depth in analyzing a gamer's achievements. But it's not as convenient on the 360 because you have to really look at their game library and go through their trueachievements and stuff. Basically you get a pretty good overview with the PS3 Trophy cards but with 360 achievements, you can really go into depth analyzing a gamer's achievements.
I really wish the Wii had console-wide achievements/trophies. :( Even if I'll never have the biggest e-peen on the internets, I like hearing that achievement unlocked sound. It sucks we don't have that on the Wii.
