Reading through your OP you have already made the choice for PS3. So this thread is kinda pointless.
I would say this.
For games variety 360 is the choice. Online service 360 is the choice.
And if sales keep up the way they are, for instance if M$ get 8mill + ahead then 3rd parties may not put all games out on PS3. Also in this factor is the horrible sales of PS3 exclusives. R2, M2 and LBP all did poorly imo compared with the hype. 360's future here is more certain for all types of games.
That said, why would you buy a PS3 now???? Wait till summer next year when the price may have droped. You can pick a 360 up now for cheap and play Gears 2 and Fable 2 (2 of the best games this year) for about half the price of a PS3.
