I can only agree with you if you are referring to the indiscriminant gamer, casual or hardcore, who doesn't have any specifics which plays whatever comes their way. But most gamers do have preferences. So "anyone that trades a 360 for ps3 should feel very cheated" is a false blanket statement. If I can't play games like Ratchet & Clank, Siren, & Disgaea on the Wii or the 360, I'd feel cheated. So let's be a little less biased here (as a gamer). SONY still has their share of exclusives, non-exclusives that are still on/coming to the PS3 while there are still multi-platform games that are as good as the 360 version is not better. And not everyone's "gaming schedule" is the same. I'm glad I get to play the better version of Oblivion on the PS3 with nothing against the 360 version. Depending on what you want, SOME people who "trades a 360 for ps3 should feel very cheated," but surely not all. Especially when you consider the fact that SONY is the 4th largest console software developer/publisher in the world. SONY does have offering and future offerings that complement what 3rd parties are doing for the PS3. And the whole PC and PS3 argument is quite valid. Otherwise, Microsoft should have just stuck to PC gaming.

I agree with you completely. However when discussing things like this on forums one must take the most general argument approach. I won't be able to convince anyone that Mortal Kombat 2 online on my ps3 is better and more fun than bioshock on 360. And I think it is... :)
So my argument about "ps3 owners feeling cheated" reffers to an average ps3 owner being more jelous for not being able to play Gears of War, Halo 3, Mass Effect and Ninja Gaiden 2 than a 360 owner wanting to play MGS4, Unchartd, Ratchet and Resistance. It reffers to superior community and online service... Better selection of classic titles for old school gamers. General things like that...
However I reckognize that there is niche gaming on both consoles that only that console does best and if that appeals to a gamer, he has made the right purchase whichever console he choses.
As far as PC vs xbox...despite all of the people that own PC's and won't buy xboxes because they can play similar games, Microsoft seems to be finding a market for the xbox product so I think its good they got in to the videogame market no?
